THE COMBINED USE OF CARDIOTOCOGRAPHY AND FETAL BLOOD SAMPLING IN MONITORING THE FETUS IN LABOUR

S. C. Simmons, B. Lieberman

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Summary The use of cardiotocography for screening high risk and clinically distressed fetuses during routine work in a busy department is described. When abnormal patterns appeared the decision whether to interfere was determined by fetal blood sampling. Two years' results have been analyzed. Although there was a high degree of accuracy in the diagnosis of fetal distress there are still limitations of monitoring methods for routine application.
