Overview

Cross-sectional study finds cardiotocography's accuracy at 70% for fetal distress versus umbilical cord pH, suggesting its role in low-resource settings.

Key Points

  • Cardiotocography identified fetal distress with 70% accuracy, indicating limitations in its reliability for risk assessment.
  • Among 70 patients, 30% showed positive signs of fetal distress, highlighting the need for reliable diagnostics.
  • This cross-sectional analysis involved measuring umbilical cord blood pH alongside cardiotocography during labor.
  • Findings call for further evaluation of cardiotocography in settings lacking access to umbilical cord sampling for fetal monitoring.
