Correlation between total deceleration area in CTG records and cord blood pH in pregnancies with IUGR

ConclusionsCord blood pH significantly correlates with total deceleration area and other fetal monitoring characteristics in neonates with growth restriction. Future studies using real-time, machine-learning based techniques of fetal heart rate monitoring, may provide population specific threshold values that will support bedside clinical decision making and perhaps achieve better outcomes.
