Analysis of Intrapartum Cardiotocography Findings in Labour, its Correlation with Umbilical Arterial Blood pH and Neonatal Outcome

Background: Cardiotocography (CTG) is being used in all labouring women to detect intrapartum hypoxemia which further requires confirmatory tests. But a setting where these facilities are not available, umbilical artery pH analysis can help only identifying neonates with but also anticipating neonatal adverse outcomes. The aim of the study was analyse cardiotocography and its correlation outcome. Methods: Total 317 consecutive single, term, were included present study. After taking CTG, it classified into normal, non-reassuring abnormal groups according National Institute Clinical Excellence (NICE) guideline 2017. At birth cord arterial blood taken hypoxemia. same time, APGAR score at 5 minute birth, NICU admission mortality recorded. Neonates ≤7.2 considered as asphyxiated. Results: Among 48.8% had normal 35% 15.4% CTG. found be <7 17.3%, number admission. Out 113 5.9% acidosis. This much higher CTG group 11% There 6 mortalities. A statistically significant association between Conclusion: an effective screening tool that routinely for fetal hypoxia. By doing timely intervention under avoid morbidity mortality.
