DOIAbstract
Objectives: To evaluate the recommendations for additional fetal blood sampling (FBS) when using ST-analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Three academic and six non-academic teaching hospitals in the Netherlands. Population: Labouring women with a high-risk singleton pregnancy in cephalic position beyond 36 weeks of gestation. Methods: In labouring women allocated to the STAN® arm of a previously published randomised controlled trial who underwent one or more FBS during delivery, we assessed whether FBS was performed according to the trial protocol and how fetal acidosis, defined as an FBS pH 60 minutes, and poor electrocardiogram quality, respectively. When the predefined criteria were not...
