本文提出了一种利用时变自回归模型进行胎儿心率(FHR)信号的频域分析方法，旨在改善胎儿监护过程中的评估。研究发现，FHR减速事件在时间域中对应于频率域内的动态变化，这些变化可能有助于区分正常和病理性的胎儿状态。通过分析FHR信号的特定时间-频率特征，可以更好地理解胎儿的状况。
摘要：
During labour, foetal monitoring enables clinicians to prevent potential adverse outcomes, whose surveillance procedure is commonly based on analysis of cardiotocographic (CTG) signals. Unfortunately, this procedure is difficult because it involves human interpretation of highly complex signals. In order to improve the CTG assessment, different approaches based on signal processing techniques have been proposed. However, most of them do not consider the progression of the foetal response over time. In this work, we propose to study such progression along the foetal heart rate (FHR) signal by using spectral analysis based on time-varying autoregressive modelling. The main idea is to investigate if a particular FHR signal episode in the time-domain reflects dynamical changes in the frequency-domain that can help to assess the foetal condition. Results show that each FHR deceleration leaves a particular time-varying frequency signature described by the spectral energy components which could help to distinguish between a normal and a pathological foetus.
