Timely recognition and appropriate management of high-risk pregnancies, such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), are of paramount importance for every obstetrician. After the initial screening of IUGR fetuses through sonographic fetometry and Doppler, the focus is shifted to the appropriate monitoring and timing of delivery. This can, especially

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

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

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 ...

Statistical baseline assessment in cardiotocography
2017 39th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2017Cardiotocography (CTG) is the most common non-invasive diagnostic technique to evaluate fetal well-being. It consists in the recording of fetal heart rate (FHR; bpm) and maternal uterine contractions. Among the main parameters characterizing FHR, baseline (BL) is fundamental to determine fetal hypoxia and distress.

Cardiotocography for antepartum fetal assessment
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 1999Cardiotocography is a form of fetal assessment which simultaneously records fetal heart rate, fetal movements and uterine contractions to investigate hypoxia.The objective was to assess the effects of antenatal cardiotocography on perinatal morbidity and mortality and maternal morbidity.We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials ...

Level evaluation system for cardiotocography
2014 Joint 7th International Conference on Soft Computing and Intelligent Systems (SCIS) and 15th International Symposium on Advanced Intelligent Systems (ISIS), 2014Level evaluation system for real cardiotocography (CTG) data of high risk patients is constructed in order to use the CTG feature as basic data in e-Learning materials. The constructed system consists of two parts, preprocessing of signal data by particle filter and level evaluation by fuzzy inference.

Intrapartum Cardiotocography and the Expert Witness
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1994Summary: Fetal heart rate changes occur in the majority of labours and correlate poorly with perinatal outcome and subsequent neurological development. Obstetricians giving expert evidence related to the interpretation of intrapartum cardiotocographs are advised to exercise caution when expressing their opinions.
