Cardiotocography and medicolegal issues
Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2004Obstetric litigation is on the increase. A review of litigation cases reveals that the majority of claims relating to the intrapartum period arise because the cardiotocograph- (CTG) was misinterpreted or because inappropriate action was taken in the presence of fetal heart rate abnormalities.

Antepartum Cardiotocography — an Audit
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1987Summary: Between 1981 and 1986, 9,840 women were monitored by antepartum nonstressed cardiotocography (CTG). A satisfactory fetal reserve pattern was detected in 91%, a reduced reserve pattern in 8% and a critical reserve pattern in 1%. The incidences of fetal growth retardation, Apgar score < 6 at 1 minute, perinatal mortality and Caesarean section

Bailliere's clinical obstetrics and gynaecology, 1987
Antepartum cardiotocography remains a valuable adjunct in the management of the high-risk gravida. Twice weekly use of NST coupled with real-time ultrasound assessment of amniotic fluid volume appear reasonable approaches to testing. More controversial is the use of testing in all pregnancies. Clearly, if one could reduce the perinatal mortality to 1-2/

Clinical overview of cardiotocography
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1993ABSTRACTTwenty years after its widespread introduction, the role of continuous fetal heart rate and contraction monitoring in labour (cardiotocography, CTG) remains uncertain. Although a normal pattern is very reassuring about fetal condition, the predictive value of an abnormal pattern is low. In most studies the use of CTG has been associated with an

British Journal of Midwifery, 2007
The interpretation of cardiotocograph (CTG) evidence is a crucial feature in many legal claims. A case heard in the Court of Session in Edinburgh in June (Lowe v Yorkhill) is of interest to midwives for three reasons in particular. The first concerns the ability to assess intrapartum CTG recordings; the second is the use of documentary evidence that ...

The Relevance of Antenatal Cardiotocography
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1987Summary: In a prospective study of 3,083 patients having antenatal cardiotocography it was shown that ominous fetal heart rate traces were most likely to occur when the test was applied in specific ‘at risk’ situations rather than as a routine screening test, and when the need for monitoring was perceived relatively early in the pregnancy. The majority
