Fetal distress evaluation using and analyzing the variables of antepartum computerized cardiotocography.
In this study, we tried to establish cut-off values for more than one parameters of computerized cardiotocography (c CTG) in the prediction of fetal distress during labor, using a group of pregnant women with low-risk pregnancies. ⋯ In conclusion, we believe that not only STV but also other components of the cCTG, mainly the presence and the number of episodes of high variation, are related to pregnancy's outcome as measured by an umbilical artery pH.
