[Silent cardiotocogram during general anesthesia : Indication for emergency Cesarean section?]. Anaesthesist. 2012 Dec;61(12):1049-53 Authors: Bock H, List E, Kosmala A, Lex B, Moratin P Abstract This case report of a silent cardiotocogram (CTG) registration during general anesthesia in a 33-week-pregnant patient undergoing non-obstetric surgery demonstrates the possibility of misinterpretation whereby typical CTG patterns of fetal reactions to anesthetics can be misinterpreted as fetal hypoxia or even asphyxia.
