Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Indirect standard cardiotocography plus fetal blood sampling versus indirect quantitative cardiotocography--a randomized comparative study in intrapartum monitoring].
In previous papers we proposed ways to improve the diagnostic potential of the "quantitative cardiotocography" computer method, which allowed us to introduce clinical practice guidelines. Using these guidelines we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of quantitative cardiotocography (qCTG) as compared to standard cardiotocography (CTG) and, if necessary fetal blood sampling (FBS). ⋯ The incidence of metabolic acidosis was comparable in both groups. Indirect quantitative cardiotocography shows much better specificity for fetal hypoxia which results in significantly lower rates of operative deliveries compared to standard indirect cardiotocography combined with fetal blood sampling.
