Abstract: Background: Oxytocin is a short acting drug, which needs continuous intravenous drip to maintain the effect of uterine contraction. Excessive uterine contraction may lead to abnormal blood supply of fetal placenta and fetal hypoxia. It is necessary to take care of the injection, and observe the fetal heart rate and uterine contraction, yet there is little research on potential effects on fetal by analyzing the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal from the perspective of nonlinear dynamic system.
