Randomized Controlled TrialThe added predictive value of biphasic events in ST analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram for intrapartum fetal monitoring.
To study the predictive value of biphasic ST-events for interventions for suspected fetal distress and adverse neonatal outcome, when using ST-analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) for intrapartum fetal monitoring. ⋯ The presence of significant biphasic events did not discriminate in the prediction of interventions for fetal distress or adverse outcome. Therefore, biphasic events in relation to ST-analysis monitoring during birth should be omitted if future studies confirm our findings.

Impact of night shifts on laparoscopic skills and cognitive function among gynecologists.
To assess whether gynecologists have impaired laparoscopic skills and/or reduced cognitive function after long on-call hours. ⋯ We were not able to detect impaired laparoscopic skills among gynecologists tested by a virtual reality procedural module after 17.5 h on call. We found a small increase in reaction time but no other signs of reduced cognitive function. The study adds information on surgical performance of sleep-deprived gynecologists.
