Continuous cardiotocography (CTG) as a form of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) for fetal assessment during labour

Determinants of Modes of Delivery: A Hospital based Retrospective Study in Kenya

“…When mothers had abortion prior to their delivery, they tended to have emergency C/S delivery. This finding is similar to a study conducted by reference [7] which indicated that the previous experience of mothers informed their choice of delivery. Similarly, reference [8] reported in their study that women who have undergone a non-elective caesarean section expressed confidence in the decision, felt well informed, and reported that they played an important role in the decision to have a caesarean birth.…”

Operative Deliveries in Low‐Risk Pregnancies in The Netherlands: Primary versus Secondary Care

“…For example, liberal use of fetal monitoring (cardiotocography) in secondary care increases intervention rates. A Cochrane review published in 2003, based on 12 studies conducted from 1976 to 2001, demonstrated a significant increase in cesarean sections and instrumental vaginal deliveries when cardiotocography was used compared with using only intermittent auscultation (relative risk 2.31 and 1.29, respectively, for lowrisk deliveries) (13). This finding was confirmed in our study.…”

Regional and International Prenatal Telemedicine Network for Computerized Antepartum Cardiotocography

“…Increases in the number of preterm births and of cesarean sections are frequently cited examples of the risk associated with the widespread adoption of cardiotocographic recording. 22,23 However, in spite of the substantial number of cases in the present study, mostly high-risk patients, we found a lower cesarean rate (50.8%) in comparison to the 61% rate observed in Campania. 24 The experience with the TOCOMAT system confirms that prenatal telemedicine may allow a gradual decentralization of obstetric surveillance, with subsequent improvement in the quality of life for mothers and newborns.…”
