FHR Detection
SD2 is designed to detect the fetal heartbeat from the 10th week of gestation.
Before applying the Doppler to inspect FHR, you should always check whether the Doppler is in good condition and whether there is evident damage that might affect patient’s safety and the device’s function.If evident damage is found, stop using it at once and replace it with a good one.
Procedures to Detect FHR:
a) Have the patient lie on her back.
b) Apply appropriate amount of coupling gel to the ultrasonic transducer head of the Doppler and switch on the Doppler.
c) Palpate the patient’s abdomen gently to confirm the fetus’s position.
d) Place the Doppler on the patient’s abdomen, and move it around the fetus’s position or tilt it until a clear and rhythmic heart sound is heard and FHR numeric is stably displayed.

Note:
- Do not mistake the maternal heart rate for fetal heart rate.The fetal pulse should bedifferent from the maternal pulse, which can be measured at the wrist or neck
- Do not wear gloves to touch the keys. If there’s water and coupling gel on the fingers, please clean them first or the touching effect will be influenced.
How to Find the Best FH Signal:
- The easiest way: take the position the doctor last detected for FHR as a reference and move the Doppler around the position slowly until the best FH signal is found.
- The fetal heart position may change as the fetus moves inside the uterus. You can confirm the fetal position first according to the position of the uterus fundus in different gestational weeks.
- At the end of the 12-week gestation, the uterus fundus is about 2-3 fingers’ breadth (about 3-4.5 cm) above the symphysis pubis.
- At the end of the 16-week gestation, the uterus fundus is in the middle between the navel and the symphysis pubis.
- At the end of the 20-week gestation, the uterus fundus is about 1 finger’s breadth (about 1.5 cm) below the navel.
- At the end of the 24-week gestation, the uterus fundus is about 1 finger’s breadth(about 1.5 cm)above the navel.
- At the end of the 28-week gestation, the uterus fundus is about 3 fingers’ breadth (about 4.5 cm) above the navel
- At the end of the 32-week gestation, the uterus fundus is in the middle between the navel and the xiphisternum.
- At the end of the 36-week gestation, the uterus fundus is about 2 fingers’ breadth (about 3 cm) below the xiphisternum.

The clearest and loudest fetal heart sound is generally obtained when the Doppler is placed on thefetus’s back. Fetal movement is usually the movement of fetal limbs. So, if frequent fetal movement occurs at the right side of the abdomen, the fetus’s back is probablyat the left sideand vice versa.You can find the fetus’s back according to fetal movement’s position.
If the fetus is in cephalic delivery position, the fetal heart is either on the right side or on the left side below the navel; if the fetus is in breech delivery position, the fetal heart is either on the right side or on the left side above the navel.
Steps to Find Fetal Heart:
Have the patient lie on back and relax >> confirm fetal position by hand >> apply coupling gel to the Doppler>> place the Doppler on patient’s abdomen and start looking for the fetal heart >> the fetal heart is found when the Doppler gives out a continuing thumping sound “boom-boom-boom”.
CAUTION |
|
Note:
- The best quality of fetal heart signal is obtained only when the Doppler is placed in thebest detection position.
- Do not place the Doppler near positions where placental sound or umbilical blood flow sound is loud.
- If the fetus is in the cephalic position and the mother is supine, the clearest heart sound will normally be found on the midline below the navel. During detection, the pregnant woman’s prolonged lying in the supine position should be avoided to reduce the possibility of supine hypotension. Putting a pillow or cushion under the patient’s head or feet can be of help.
- It is not possible to obtain accurate FHR unless a clear fetal heart signal is detected. If the calculated FHR is not in accordance with the beat of the fetal heart sound, the fetal heart sound auscultation result shall prevail.
- Whether the fetal heart sound can be obtained or not is related to the skill and qualification of the operator.
- If the fetal heart sound cannot be found for a long time, it is necessary make use of other equipment.
- When applied to the patient, the Doppler may warm slightly (less than 2°C (35.6°F) above ambient temperature). When NOT applied, the Doppler may slightly (less than 5°C (41°F) above ambient temperature).
SOV Prompt
When detecting fetal heart rate, there are possibilities that maternal HR signal is mistaken for FHR signal.
The SOV function can reduce these possibilities.Detect FHR and PR at the same time. When FHR and PR signals overlap, SD2 will issue a sound. At this time, examine the patient or reposition the probe until fetal heart signal is found.
SpO2 Detection
SpO2 Plethysmogram measurement is employed to determine the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the arterial blood. The SpO2 numeric shows the percentage of hemoglobin molecules which have combined with oxygen molecules to form oxyhemoglobin. The SpO2/PLETH parameter can also provide a pulse rate signal and a plethysmogram wave.
NOTE:
- The device is calibrated to display functional oxygen saturation.
- The monitor does not have specific SpO2 calibration baselines.
- SpO2 waveform is not proportional to the pulse volume.
- A Functional tester or simulator cannot be used to assess the SpO2 accuracy. However, it can be used to test the accuracy of a particular calibration curve duplicated by the device, and it turns out the calibration curve meetsthe accuracy.
Inaccurate measurements can be caused but not limited by:
- Incorrect device application
- high levels of ambient light sources, such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight
- failure to cover the sensor with fingerin high levels of ambient light conditions
- dysfunctional hemoglobins
- low peripheral perfusion
- excessive or violent patient movement
- venous pulsations
- intravascular dyes, such as indocyanine green or methylene blue
- externally applied coloring agents (nail polish, dye, pigmented cream)
- defibrillation
- placement of the device on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line
- electromagnetic interference
- Low perfusion
Lossofpulse signal can occur for the following reasons:
- a blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same extremity as the one with the device attached
- there is arterial occlusion proximal to the device
- low peripheral perfusion
Assessing the Validity of a SpO2 Reading
You can check the quality of the pleth wave and the stability of the SpO2 values to assess whether the sensor functions properly and whether the SpO2 readings are valid. Always use these two indicationssimultaneously to assess the validity of a SpO2 reading.
NOTE:
- The SpO2 accuracy has been validated in human studies against arterial blood sample reference measured with a CO-oximeter. Pulse oximeter measurements are statistically distributed, only about two-thirds of the measurements can be expected to fall within the specified accuracy compared to CO-oximeter measurements. The volunteer population in the studies composed of local healthy men and women from age 19 to 37, with variations of skin pigmentations. The SpO2 accuracy is as follows: ±2% for 90%-100% and ±4% for 70%-90%.
- The pulse rate accuracy is obtained by comparison to the pulse rate generated with an arterial oxygen simulator (also an electronic pulse simulator).
- Generally, the quality of the SpO2 pleth wave reflects the quality of the light signals obtained by the sensor. A wave of poor quality manifests a decline of the signal validity. On the other hand, the stability of the SpO2 values also reflects the signal quality. Different from varying SpO2 readings caused by physiological factors, unstable SpO2 readings are resulted from the sensor’s receiving signals with interference. The problems mentioned above may be caused by patient movement, wrong sensor placement or sensor malfunction. To obtain valid SpO2 readings, try to limit patient movement, check the placement of the sensor, measure another site or replace the sensor.
SpO2 Detection
- Hold the device with one hand and press the thumb on the SpO2 sensor continuously.
- Movement is not recommended during measurement.
- When the signals are stable, read corresponding data from screen.
NOTE:Avoid external light sources such as radiated rays or ultrared rays.
After Detection
- Switch off the Doppler.
- Wipe the remaining gel off the patient and the probe with a clean soft cloth or tissue.

Ultrasound Intensity and Safety
ltrasound in Medicine
The use of diagnostic ultrasound has proved to be a valuable tool in medical practice. Given its known benefits for non-invasive investigations and medical diagnosis, including investigation of the human fetus, the question of clinical safety with regards to ultrasound intensity arises.
There is no easy answer to the question of safety surrounding the use of diagnostic ultrasound equipment. Application of the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle serves as a rule-of-thumb that will help you to get reasonable results with the lowest possible ultrasonic output.
The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) states that given its track record of over 25 years of use and no confirmed biological effects on patients or instrument operators, the benefits of the prudent use of diagnostic ultrasound clearly outweigh any risks.
Ultrasound Safety and the ALARA Principle
Ultrasound waves dissipate energy in the form of heat and can therefore cause tissue warming. Although this effect is extremely low with Doppler, it is important to know how to control and limit patient exposure. Major governing bodies in ultrasound have issued statements to the effect that there are no known adverse effects from the use of diagnostic ultrasound, however, exposure levels should always be limited to As Low As Reasonably Achievable (the ALARA principle).
Explanation of MI/TI MI (Mechanical Index)
Cavitations will be generated when ultrasound wave passes through and contacts tissues, resulting in instantaneous local overheating. This phenomenon is determined by acoustic pressure, spectrum, focus, transmission mode, and factors such as states and properties of the tissue and boundary. This mechanical bioeffect is a threshold phenomenon that occurs when a certain level of ultrasound output is exceeded. The threshold is related to the type of tissue. Although no confirmed adverse mechanical effects on patients or mammals caused by exposure at intensities typical of present diagnostic ultrasound instruments have ever been reported, the threshold for cavitation is still undetermined. Generally speaking, the mechanical index (MI) in order to indicate the potential for mechanical effects. The MI is defined as the ratio of the peak-rarefactional acoustic pressure (should be calculated by tissue acoustic attenuation higher the acoustic pressure, the greater the potential for mechanical bioeffects; the lower the acoustic frequency, the greater the potential for mechanical bioeffects.
MI = Pr, α
fawf ×CMI
CMI = 1 (MPa / MHz )
TI (Thermal Index)
Heating of tissues is caused by absorption of ultrasound when the ultrasound energy is applied. The temperature rise is determined by the acoustic intensity, exposed area and thermophysical properties ofthe tissue.
In order to indicate the potential for temperature rise caused by thermal effects, the AIUM and NEMA formulate thermal index (TI). It is defined as the ratio of the total acoustic power to the acoustic power required to raise the tissue temperature by 1ºC (1.8°F).
According to different thermophysical properties of the tissue, TI is divided into three kinds: TIS, TIB and TIC.
TIS (Soft Tissue Thermal Index): It provides an estimate of potential temperature rise in soft or similar tissues.
TIB (Bone Thermal Index): It provides an estimate of potential temperature rise when the ultrasound beam passes through soft tissue and a focal region is in the immediate vicinity of bone.
TIC (Cranial Bone Thermal Index): It provides an estimate of potential temperature rise in the cranial bones or superficial bones.
Measurement Uncertainties
The uncertainties in the measurements were predominantly systematic in origin; the random uncertainties were negligible in comparison. The overall systematic uncertainties were determined as follows:
- Hydrophone Sensitivity: ± 12 percent for intensity, ± 6 percent for pressure. Based on the hydrophone calibration report by ONDA. The uncertainty was determined within ±1 dB in frequencyrange 1-15 MHz.
- Digitizer: ±0.3 percent for intensity. ± 0.15 percent for pressure.
Based on the stated accuracy of the 8-bit resolution of the Agilent DSO6012 Digital Oscilloscope and the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement. - Temperature:±2.4 percent for intensity uncertainty, ±1.2 percent for pressure uncertainty.
Based on the temperature variation of the water bath of ± 1ºC (1.8°F). - Spatial Averaging: ± 3.5 percent for intensity, ± 1.75 percent for pressure.
- Non-linear Distortion: N/A.
No effects of nonlinear propagation were observed.
Since all the above error sources are independent, they may be added on an RMS basis, giving a total uncertainty of ± 12.73 percent for all intensity values reported, ± 6.37 percent for all the pressure values,,± 12.6 percent for the Mechanical Index, uncertainty of ±12.73% percent for power,±0.15 percent for center frequency, ±6.87% for the MI.
Prudent Use Statement
Although no confirmed bioeffects on patients caused by exposure from present diagnostic ultrasound equipment have ever been reported, the potential exists that such bioeffects may be identified in the future. Therefore, the ultrasound should be used prudently. High levels of acoustic output and long exposure time should be avoided while acquiring necessary clinical information.
