Abstract

An essential role played by cardiotocography (CTG), is promptly detecting non-reassuring foetal status during delivery, as these abnormal changes are a prime reason for women to undergo a caesarean section. But all abnormal changes in cardiotocography does not lead to poor outcome in terms of liquor that was meconium stained or a low APGAR score at birth. As a result, research is the need of the hour, to understand their correlation; hence, showing the benefit of CTG in the precise detection of non-reassuring foetal status is correlated from the intraoperative findings discovered later. This review article aimed to see if there was a link between perioperative findings and foetal consequences in women who had a caesarean section due to foetal condition, which was not reassuring according to cardiotocographic findings.
