Findings from a CTG:
Baseline 150bpm, undulatorisch, sporadische Akzelerationen, keine Dezelerationen, regelrechte Kindsbewegungen, unauffälliges Tokogramm,
On https://www.amboss.com/de/wissen/Kardiotokografie_(CTG)/ I have found that "undulatorisch" is out of date, but I haven't really found whether there is an equivalent English term. The TM translates it with "undulatory", but I haven't found this anywhere in connection with CTG.
I am at a loss, would greatly appreciate your insights!

My understanding is that a wave can be undulating without being sinusoidal, i.e. sine-wave-like. So I am not sure if these two are interchangeable here.

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Jakub, so maybe "undulating" is out of date and "sinusoidal" would be the more current expression? |
| OK, so "undulating" to be on the safe side! Thank you so much! |
