2. 1. Fetal ECG waveform analysis for intrapartum monitoring

   Author : Isis Amer-Wåhlin; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reproduction; Obstetrics; gynaecology; andrology; cerebral metabolism; microdialysis; implementation; fetal asphyxia; intrpartum monitoring; Fetal ECG; Cardiotocography; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet;

   Abstract : Waveform analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram has been studied since the early seventies from both physiological, signal processing and clinical aspects. It has been found to contain more useful information than the mere detection of RR-intervals (fetal heart rate), e.g. READ MORE

4. 2. 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

5. 3. Improving the quality of caesarean section in a low-resource setting : An intervention by criteria-based audit at a tertiary hospital, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

   Author : Andrew Hans Mgaya; Birgitta Essén; Hussein Kidanto; Lennarth Nyström; Jeroen van Dillen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Caesarean section; Criteria-based audit; Fetal distress; Obstructed labour; Low resource setting; Robson classification; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Abstract : A sharp increase in caesarean section (CS) rates at the Muhimbili National Referral Hospital (MNH) – a tertiary referral hospital in Tanzania – by 50% in 2000–2011, was associated with concomitant increase in maternal complications and deaths and inconsistent improvement in newborn outcomes. The aims of this thesis were to explore care providers’ in-depth perspective of the reasons for these high rates of CS, and to evaluate and improve standards of care for the most common indica-tions of CS, obstructed labour and fetal distress, which are also major causes of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

6. 4. Different aspects of electronic fetal monitoring during labor

   Author : Erika Gyllencreutz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Cardiotocography (CTG) is a tool to assess fetal well-being during labor and to detect early signs of fetal distress and thereby enable timely interventions to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality. CTG is associated with shortcomings; poor reliability in interpretation, low specificity with a high proportion of false positive tracings indicating fetal distress when not accurate, no proven effect on rare severe outcomes such as mortality and cerebral palsy, but rather contributing to an increased risk of operative delivery.

7. 5. Dynamic Fetal and Placental Circulatory Changes during Uterine Contractions

   Author : Hui Li; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sexualitet; reproduktion; andrologi; gynekologi; Obstetrik; sexuality; reproduction; andrology; gynaecology; Obstetrics; Venous; Uterine; Umbilical; Resistance; Pregnancy; Oxytocin; Labor; IUGR; Flow; Doppler; Contraction; Brain-sparing; Cerebral;

   Abstract : The best mode of delivery for fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and umbilical artery (UA) blood flow changes is not well elucidated. Uterine artery, fetal UA, middle cerebral artery (MCA), and venous blood flow changes during uterine contractions during an oxytocin challenge test (OCT) have not been observed systemically. READ MORE
