Intrapartum foetal monitoring.

Electronic foetal heart-rate monitoring In current practice, electronic foetal heart-rate monitoring is performed by either the internal or the external method. With the internal method, an ECG electrode is applied directly to the foetus, and the monitor separates the foetal electrocardiogram from the maternal, amplifies the foetal signal and measures the intervals between consecutive foetal he...

Ultrasonographic evaluation of lower uterine segment thickness in patients of previous cesarean section.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate by ultrasonography, the lower uterine segment thickness of women with a previous cesarean delivery and determine a critical thickness above which safe vaginal delivery is predictable. METHODS A prospective observational study of 71 antenatal women with previous cesarean delivery and 50 controls was carried out. Transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography were used in...
