The results of this study provide evidence of the influence of different fetal behavioral states on fetal cerebral hemodynamic patterns. We believe it is better to sample the proximal segment in clinical practice because it is less influenced by fetal behavioral state. This information should be considered when evaluating fetal cerebral hemodynamics.

ST analysis, as an adjunct to CTG, identifies adverse fetal conditions during labor similar to that of FBS but on a more consistent basis. The timing of CTG+ST changes relates to the level of acidosis at birth.
