T/QRS monitoring shows no correlation with fetal/neonatal outcomes in this cohort; leaves open its utility and requires prospective validation before adoption.
Does fetal electrocardiographic monitoring during labour correlate with indices of fetal and neonatal well-being in high risk pregnancies?
Fetal ECG monitoring during labour using ST segment analysis showed weak or no significant correlation with standard indices of fetal well-being, indicating further research is needed before clinical implementation.
Murphy et al. (1992) studied this question.
