Overview

Observational analysis shows significant links between fetal heart rate, cord gases, and adverse neonatal outcomes in low-risk pregnancies, highlighting CTG's role.

Key Points

  • Abnormal fetal heart rate patterns predict adverse neonatal outcomes, increasing NICU admissions and the risk of complications.
  • Fetal acidosis, indicated by low umbilical artery pH, occurs in conjunction with abnormal cardiotocography, showing a strong correlation.
  • This cross-sectional observational study involved 360 term, singleton pregnancies in labor to assess their outcomes using cardiotocography and cord blood analysis.
  • The findings suggest cardiotocography can help identify at-risk neonates, calling for timely interventions in labor.
