Zusammenfassung

Cardiotocography alone as a method of fetal surveillance does not provide accurate diagnosis of fetal well-being during labor. In cases of non-reassuring fetal heart rate, fetal pulse oximetry is of great importance in decision making. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of fetal pulse oximetry with conventional cardiotocography in reducing the rate of cesarean section in cases with non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns. In a number of 1470 deliveries during a two-year period we had the following results: 646 total c/s, (primary c/s 408, 222 previous c/s), vaginal deliveries 824 (operative deliveries 17,…
