To measure fetal heart rate (FHR), you first need to apply gel on the ultrasound sensor
and place it on the mother’s abdomen (if possible over the fetal back). If no HR sound is
heard, reposition the ultrasound sensor until you hear the rhythmic HR sound.
Getting Started
11
Apply gel on the ultrasound sensor.
Place the ultrasound sensor on the mother’s abdomen.
(Reposition the ultrasound sensor if you do not hear a rhythmic HR sound)
PRACTICE
Palpate to identify fetal position. Best results will be achieved with the ultrasound sensor
placed over the fetal back.
