How does a fetal heart monitor read the values?

Patient's question:

Recently, I had a fetal heart monitoring test. Some doctors said there were no problems, while others said the fetal heart rate was too fast and recommended oxygen therapy, twice a day. Could you please explain how to read the values on a fetal heart monitoring device?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description: If the fetal doppler shows a heart rate of 120~160 beats per minute, this falls within the normal range. However, it's important for the mom to know that the fetal heart rate doesn't always stay within this range; sometimes it may fluctuate slightly. If there are minor fluctuations, moms don't need to worry too much about it, as this is still within the normal range.
