Computerized FHR parameters in late labor show no correlation with umbilical artery acidosis; leaves open their role in intrapartum monitoring.
Do computerized fetal heart rate parameters correlate with the degree of fetal metabolic acidosis at birth in term pregnant women?
Computer-derived FHR parameters during the last hour of labor do not correlate with the degree of metabolic acidosis measured in the umbilical artery at birth.
