A telemetry system for non-invasive monitoring of fetal heart rate and uterine contractions is described. Fetal heart information is obtained by means of Doppler ultrasound, and contractions information using an external tocodynamometer. The more important features of the device are described in detail; the full design is available from the authors. Typical recordings are presented, and the fetal heart rate traces are compared qualitatively with those obtained by direct ECG measurement, with the patient in bed, sitting and walking. The device is now in clinical use.

The severity of aorto-iliac disease has been evaluated by direct pressure recording at the time of translumbar aortography. Pulse wave analysis confirmed the radiological appearance of 35 aorto-iliac segments and in one further segment, identified a normal haemodynamic pattern in the presence of marked degenerative disease. The method is safe, accurate, simple and relatively inexpensive.
