Prediction of neonatal acidemia at birth With intrapartum total deceleration area On fetal cardiotocogram – a one year case Control study

Abstract

Aims & Objectives: In recent times there is a global rise in the rate of cesarean deliveries, fetal distress being second most common indication. The diagnosis of fetal distress is based on fetal cardiotocography findings during labour.This study aims to analyse the intrapartum total deceleration area on fetal cardiotocogram which will predict neonatal acidaemia at birth.
