Comparison of Computerized Cardiotocography Parameters between Male and Female Fetuses [PDF]
Fetal sex has been identified as an important factor influencing pregnancy outcomes, but its impact on fetal heart rate (FHR) variability in uncomplicated pregnancies is still unclear. The objective of the study was to assess short-term variability (STV)

Perinatal and Neonatal Outcomes Using Cardiotocography Versus STAN and Cardiotocography: a Systematic Review. [PDF]
Objective:ST waveform analysis (STAN) was introduced to improve the interpretation of cardiotocography (CTG) resulting in reduction of unnecessary interventions and metabolic acidosis. A systematic review was conducted with the aim to evaluate the effect of STAN method compared with isolated CTG on perinatal and neonatal outcomes. Materials and methods:

Frequency of fetal blood sampling, delivery mode and neonatal outcome after revised CTG-classification and updated lactate meter in Sweden: An observational study. [PDF]
Fetal blood sampling was less frequent after implementation of a revised CTG classification, and consequently, there was a higher proportion of acidemia at FBS in the smaller sampled group. Immediate cesarean delivery was more frequent after FBS, potentially caused by higher lactate readings achieved by a differently calibrated lactate meter.

Modern principles of cardiotocography in childbirth
Cardiotocography (CTG) is the main method of assessment of the fetus, which due to its informativeness and stability of the information obtained has almost completely replaced the phonoand electrocardiography of the fetus from the clinical practice.

Association between Intrapartum Cardiotocography and Umbilical Cord Blood pH in Term Pregnancies: A Cross-sectional Study in a Tertiary Care Centre, Kolkata, India [PDF]
Introduction: Labour, a physiological process for majority of foetuses, often acts as a challenge to foetal reserves causing foetal hypoxia. Foetal monitoring with intrapartum cardiotocography is an important tool to enable timely intervention to reduce ...
