Comparing the effect of STan (cardiotocographic electronic fetal monitoring (CTG) plus analysis of the ST segment of the fetal electrocardiogram) with CTG alone on emergency caesarean section rates: study protocol for the STan Australian Randomised controlled Trial (START). [PDF]
Trials, 2019 BackgroundCardiotocography is almost ubiquitous in its use in intrapartum care. Although it has been demonstrated that there is some benefit from continuous intrapartum fetal monitoring using cardiotocography, there is also an increased risk of caesarean

Use of Continuous Electronic Fetal Monitoring in a Preterm Fetus: Clinical Dilemmas and Recommendations for Practice [PDF]
Journal of Pregnancy, 2011 The aim of intrapartum continuous electronic fetal monitoring using a cardiotocograph (CTG) is to identify a fetus exposed to intrapartum hypoxic insults so that timely and appropriate action could be instituted to improve perinatal outcome.

Impact of missing electronic fetal monitoring signals on perinatal asphyxia: a multicohort analysis [PDF]
npj Digital MedicineCardiotocography (CTG) is essential for monitoring high-risk pregnancies, yet perinatal asphyxia prediction accuracy remains limited to 50–55%. Regions of artifacts (missing valid signals)-including signal processing aberrations-possibly contribute to ...

Generational Leaps in Intrapartum Fetal Surveillance [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground/Objectives: Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) has been used for intrapartum fetal surveillance for over 50 years. Despite numerous trials comparing EFM with standard fetal heart rate (FHR) auscultation, it remains contentious whether ...

Electronic Fetal Monitoring-Imperfect but Opportunities for Improvement. [PDF]
JAMA Network Open, 2020 Being born is one of the riskiest endeavors that most of us have undertaken. For example, the risk of dying or developing cerebral palsy ranges from 1 in 500 to 1 in 1000 associated with events around the time of birth.
