Key result
Time interval analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram during labor was related to relative acidemia at delivery, whereas morphologic characteristics showed no significant relationship.
Why the study?
Does time interval analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram correlate with umbilical arterial pH and base excess at delivery in women requiring continuous fetal monitoring?
Population
679 women with an indication for continuous fetal monitoring during labor
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
last half hour before delivery

Time interval fetal ECG analysis was associated with acidemia; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Observational (n=679)

Does time interval analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram correlate with umbilical arterial pH and base excess at delivery in women requiring continuous fetal monitoring?
Time interval analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram during labor is related to relative acidemia at delivery.
Marvell et al. (1980) conducted an observational in Indication for continuous fetal monitoring during labor (n=679). Fetal electrocardiogram time interval and morphologic analysis was evaluated on Umbilical arterial pH and base excess at delivery. Time interval analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram during labor was related to relative acidemia at delivery, whereas morphologic characteristics showed no significant relationship.
