2. 1. Birth asphyxia : Fetal scalp blood sampling and risk factors for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy

   Author : Lena Liljeström; Maria Jonsson; Anna-Karin Wikström; Ulf Högberg; Andreas Herbst; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : asphyxia; fetal scalp blood sampling; hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy; obstetric emergencies; operative deliveries for fetal distress; overweight; short stature; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Abstract : Preventing birth asphyxia is a major challenge in delivery care. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate fetal scalp blood sampling (FBS) and explore risk factors for moderate to severe neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). READ MORE

4. 2. ST analysis of the fetal ECG as an adjunct to fetal heart rate monitoring in labour-a clinical validation

   Author : Håkan Noren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : fetal ECG; ST analysis; electronic fetal monitoring; cardiotocography; fetal blood sampling; metabolic acidosis;

   Abstract : The ability to make an accurate assessment of fetal well-being during labour is a great challenge. Animal and human studies have shown that fetal hypoxemia during labour can alter the shape of the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) waveform, notable elevation of the T-wave and depression of the ST segment.

6. 4. New approaches on fetal and maternal intrapartum monitoring

   Author : Stina Wretler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Intrapartum fetal monitoring aims to prevent adverse outcomes due to intrapartum asphyxia. Cardiotocography (CTG) is an established method for intrapartum monitoring. The method has high sensitivity, but low specificity and is also user-dependent and linked to both inter- and intraobserver variability. READ MORE

7. 5. Lactate as an early marker of intrapartum fetal hypoxia

   Author : Malin Holzmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : cardiotocography;

   Abstract : Background: Cardiotocography (CTG) is the main method for intrapartum fetal surveillance in many countries. The method has a high sensitivity, but a poor specificity, which leads to an increased rate of interventions compared with auscultation. READ MORE
