Continuous cardiotocography (CTG) as a form of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) for fetal assessment during labour.
BACKGROUND Cardiotocography (CTG) records changes in the fetal heart rate and their temporal relationship to uterine contractions. The aim is to identify babies who may be short of oxygen (hypoxic) to guide additional assessments of fetal wellbeing, or determine if the baby needs to be delivered by caesarean section or instrumental vaginal birth. This is an update of a review previously publish...
متن کاملElectronic fetal monitoring alerts.
May/June 2012 become an issue in medical-legal cases. There are no national standards for setting parameters for EFM alerts or the timeframe expected for acknowledgement. Often default settings are determined when the system is installed and may vary widely from one institution to another.

متن کاملRational approach to electronic fetal monitoring during labour in 'all' resource settings
Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) involves the use of cardiotocograph (CTG) to asses fetal wellbeing during labour in order to detect intrapartum fetal hypoxia early so as to institute timely and appropriate action. Indeed, when CTG was introduced into obstetric practice in the 1960s, it was expected to prevent perinatal brain injury and reduce the incidence of short term (neonatal admissions, ...
متن کاملFetal electrocardiogram (ECG) for fetal monitoring during labour.
BACKGROUND Animal and human studies have shown that fetal hypoxaemia during labour can alter the shape of the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform, notably (1) the relation of the PR to RR intervals and (2) elevation or depression of the ST segment. Technical systems have therefore been developed to monitor the fetal ECG during labour as an adjunct to continuous electronic fetal heart rate mo...
