Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
Fetal heart rate patterns and ECG ST segment changes preceding metabolic acidaemia at birth.
To compare the rates of abnormal ST segment patterns of the ECG and cardiotocographic (CTG) abnormalities in fetuses with metabolic acidaemia at birth and controls. To evaluate the inter-observer agreement in interpretation of ST analysis and CTG. ⋯ The inter-observer agreement rate was higher for a decision to intervene based on CTG + ST than on CTG alone.
