The Temporal Effect of Category II Fetal Monitoring on Neonatal Outcomes

ConclusionsOur results suggest that the duration of Category II CTG alone does not appear to predict perinatal asphyxia. Parameters associated with perinatal asphyxia are reduced FHR variability, fetal tachycardia and intrapartum fever. Therefore, when contemplating intervention during labor to avoid fetal asphyxia, these parameters should be strongly considered.
