The device helps patients 'move how they need to for their labor progress,' the hospital said.
All women in labor at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children can now move freely during childbirth because the hospital has equipped all labor rooms with wireless monitoring devices.nto each of our 20 labor and delivery rooms at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children,” said Nichole Shockley, Labor & Delivery Unit Director at the hospital, in a statement to AL.com.
The hospital previously used an older model of the wireless device, which monitors fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine activity, but it wasn’t available in all rooms, hospital officials said. “The newest NOVii+ system, which is also available at Madison Hospital, provides better connectivity, showing improved monitoring performance by up to 33% from previous models,” the hospital stated. “Wireless monitoring systems allow for more range of motion during labor so patients have the ability to move how they need to for their labor progress.
The device’s closer monitoring advantages high-risk patients, providing “a personalized view of the mother and fetus’ statuses, and alerts care teams for changes to heart rate and contraction pattern during labor, so they can proactively intervene,” the company added.
