ARCHETYPE Fetal Heart Rate (openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.fetal_heart.v1)

ARCHETYPE IDopenEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.fetal_heart.v1
ConceptFetal Heart Rate
DescriptionCharacteristics about the fetal heart rate.
UseUse to record the intermittent observations of the heart rate and heart beat characteristics of a fetus during pregnancy. Only to be used where the subject of care is the fetus.
MisuseNot to be used to record more the complex details required for intervals of electronic fetal heart monitoring - use the specialisation OBSERVATION.fetal_heart-monitoring instead. Not to be used for recording the heart rate of infants, children or adults.
PurposeTo record details about the fetal heart rate via intermittent observations.

Position of MotherPosition of Mother: The position of the mother when the fetal heart rate was measured.
  • Standing [Mother standing at the time of fetal heart rate measurement.]
  • Sitting [Mother sitting at the time of fetail heart rate measurement.]
  • Reclining [Mother reclining at the time of fetal heart rate measurement.]
  • Lying [Lying flat at the time of fetal heart rate measurement.]
  • Lying with tilt to left [Mother lying flat with some lateral tilt towards the left.]
Maternal Confounding FactorsMaternal Confounding Factors: Description of incidental maternal factors, not recorded elsewhere, that may be influencing the fetal heart rate measurement.
For example, maternal fever or exertion.
events
Any eventAny event: Any unspecified event.

data
Heart beat present?Heart beat present?: The fetal heart beat is detected.
Implied as true if fetal heart rate > 0.
Heart RateHeart Rate: The measured rate of the fetal heart.
Property: Frequency
Units: >=0.0 /min

CommentComment: Additional narrative about the fetal heart rate not captured in other fields.
ConclusionConclusion: Concise and clinically contextualised narrative interpretation of the fetal heart rate.
For example, bradycardia or tachycardia.
