ADMISSION CARDIOTOCOGRAPHY

Perinatal Outcome by Admission Cardiotocography in Low Risk Obstetric Population

Abstract: The labor admission test is a very useful screening test in early labor to detect compromised fetus on admission. It is used to select the woman in need of continuous fetal electronic monitoring during labor. It is a dynamic screening test to study fetal oxygenation at the time of admission of the mother in labor room. The labor admission test is a very useful screening test in early ...

Admission cardiotocography: Its role in predicting foetal outcome in high-risk obstetric patients.

BACKGROUND Routine and continuous electronic monitoring of foetal heart rate (FHR) in labour has become an established obstetric practice in high-risk pregnancies in industrialised countries. However, the same may not be possible in non-industrialised countries where antenatal care is inadequate with a large number of high-risk pregnancies being delivered in crowded settings and inadequate heal...

Cardiotocography during labour.

The importance of antepartum cardiotocography.

The significance of antepartum cardiotocography was examined on patients at the University of Cologne in the years 1982 and 1983. We analyzed 13,310 cardiotocograms of 1,463 women and correlated their pregnancies and deliveries with the status of their newborns. There were only 66 suspect/prepathologic fetal heart rate recordings in 50 patients. All these patients had severe complications durin...

Randomised controlled trial of cardiotocography versus Doppler auscultation of fetal heart at admission in labour in low risk obstetric population.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of admission cardiotocography and Doppler auscultation of the fetal heart on neonatal outcome and levels of obstetric intervention in a low risk obstetric population. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. SETTING Obstetric unit of teaching hospital PARTICIPANTS Pregnant women who had no obstetric complications that warranted continuous monitoring of fetal hea...
