The objective of the present study is the prediction of fetal acidemia based on the Very Low Frequency (VLF) components of the Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) and Fetal Pulse Oximetry (FspO2) recordings during labor. In order to perform the spectral analysis, we applied the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and the adaptive approximation technique using the Matching Pursuit (MP) algorithm. The evaluation of FspO2 was based on calculating the time duration in which the FSpO2 was less than 30% (TSpO2
