Antenatal cardiotocography: problems and facilitiies

Abstract

The role of antenatal cardiotocography (CTG) in algorithm of fetal functional conditions disorders diagnosis is discussed in this article. Furthermore, visual and computer analysis of antenatal monitoring results have been compared. There were discussed Dawes-Redman criteria and based on them CTG systems of computer numeral analysis (Sonicaid System 8000, Sonicaid System 8002, Sonicaid FetalCare). There were shown that based principles of antenatal CTG registrations should be kept in any case, its analysis is possible only in time of active phase of the fetus rest-activity cycle. Any kind of questionable tracing should be analyzed by medical expert in special centers with appropriate experience.
