Clinical outcomes and feasibility of implementing outpatient labor induction with misoprostol: A prospective cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 647-657, April 2025.
In this prospective cohort study of 212 women undergoing Induction of Labour (IOL) with oral misoprostol, we found no significant differences in safety outcomes between outpatient and inpatient care. Our findings suggest that outpatient IOL with oral misoprostol may be a safe and feasible alternative, potentially reducing hospital stays, though larger ...

Computerised interpretation of fetal heart rate during labour (INFANT) : a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Continuous electronic fetal heart-rate monitoring is widely used during labour, and computerised interpretation could increase its usefulness.

Detection of Preventable Fetal Distress During Labor From Scanned Cardiotocogram Tracings Using Deep Learning

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Despite broad application during labor and delivery, there remains considerable debate about the value of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM). EFM includes the surveillance of fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns in conjunction with the mother's uterine ...

A qualitative dynamical model for cardiotocography simulation [PDF]

2015 Computing in Cardiology Conference (CinC), 2015
The purpose of this work is to present a new mathematical model for fetal monitoring simulation. It involves the simultaneous generation of fetal heart rate and maternal uterine contraction signals through a parametrical model. This model allows the generation of the main fetal monitoring dynamics including fetal movements, acceleration and ...

The diagnostic accuracy of different fetal blood sample lactate cutoffs in labor, utilizing the StatStrip Xpress® lactate‐meter: A population‐based observational study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
A fetal blood sample lactate cutoff of ≥5.2 mmol/L balances the need for a high sensitivity for adverse neonatal outcomes with an acceptable number of needed interventions. Abstract Introduction A recent study recommended 5.2 mmol/L as a cutoff for fetal blood sample (FBS) lactate in labor for the StatStrip Lactate®/Lactate Xpress® lactate meter.

Knowledge levels of midwives regarding the interpretation of cardiotocographs at labour units in KwaZulu-Natal public hospitals

Curationis, 2019
Background: The primary purpose of cardiotocography is to detect early signs of intrapartum hypoxia and improve foetal outcomes. Intrapartum hypoxia remains the major cause of perinatal deaths during monitored labours. This is attributed to the midwives’

Risk factors and risk‐indicating model for early‐onset neonatal sepsis after preterm prelabor rupture of membranes: A historical cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Maternal diabetes, fever, positive urinary or vaginal/cervical culture, fetal tachycardia, and decreasing short‐term variation were associated with increased risk for early‐onset neonatal sepsis in a PPROM population. A model combining these risk factors performed better at indicating early‐onset neonatal sepsis risk than the clinicians' suspicion of ...

Obstetrical aspects in congenital ichtyosis [PDF]

, 2016
We present a case of congenital ichthyosis because obstetrical literature is scarce and most obstetricians could need a reminder and update. Congenital ichthyosis (CI) comprises a variety of skin disorders characterised by abnormal keratinization of the ...

Portable Bedside Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in the Delivery Room Reduces Length of Stay

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Portable bedside nasal continuous positive airway pressure in the delivery room (bedside nCPAP) allows the newborn infant to remain with the mother in the delivery room while receiving nCPAP. This study aimed to evaluate the duration of nCPAP treatment and length of stay (LOS) in newborn infants with respiratory distress receiving bedside ...

Do Antenatal Interventions Improve Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes for Migrant Women Living in High‐Income Countries and What Guidelines Exist for Migrant Women? A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Birth, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Given the rise in migrant women giving birth in high‐income countries (HICs) there is a need to identify and evaluate the efficacy of existing interventions that address disparities in adverse pregnancy outcomes experienced by migrant women.
