In our case, the artefact was identified as a consequence of a mismatch between the ECG and the pulse oximeter signal and conscious state of the patient. Other authors recommend ensuring that the ECG change is not an artefact when (1) it occurs without any haemodynamic changes on the pulse oximeter or arterial pressure waveforms, (2) there is good correlation between maternal peripheral and apical pulses, (3) the sequence of onset and disappearance of the arrhythmia is associated with giving the baby to or taking the baby away from the mother, (4) in association with a change of position of the baby.
