Sonicaid Team Operator’s Manual
12
Note on terminology
The Sonicaid Team fetal monitor was developed in the UK, where CTG is a recognised
abbreviation for cardiotocograph. In the USA and some other countries, the terms
EFM and NST are more commonly used.
When the Sonicaid Team display refers to CTG, this means the printed or recorded
trace showing the fetal heart rate and contractions.
In this manual the trace showing the fetal heart rate and contractions is referred to
simply as ‘the trace’. Where the manual refers to CTG, it does so because ‘CTG’ is
what appears on the Sonicaid Team display.
CTG cardiotocograph
EFM electronic fetal monitoring
NST non-stress test
FHR fetal heart rate
