Non-stress　testing　(NST)　is　the　primary　method　of　determining　fetal　condition　during　the　perinatal　period,　and　as　such,　has　high　specificity.　However,　short-term　monitoring　and　visual　inspection　of　the　cardiotocogram　demonstrates　several　limitations　in　understanding　fetal　status　which　can　be　mistaken　as　predictors　of　neonatal　asphyxia.　Fetal　electrocardiography　(FECG)　is　a　novel,　long-term　monitoring　method　which　can　reflect　more　objective　and　accurate　fetal　information.　This　article　presents　experimental　results　of　four　fetal　heart　rate　(FHR)　acceleration　features　of　44　fetuses　extracted　from　FECG.　The　novelty　of　this　approach　lies　in　its　combined　use　of　parameters　which　can　express　both　duration　and　amplitude　of　heart　rate　acceleration.　Results　demonstrate　that　most　parameters　significantly　differ　between　normal　fetuses　and　fetuses　with　suspected　abnormalities.　Results　are　promising　for　the　identification　of　a　set　or　parameters　which　may　be　used　as　classifiers　to　improve　the　success　rate　when　distinguishing　between　normal　and　abnormal　fetuses.
