- Title
Deceleration area and deceleration capacity: deficient predictors of fetal acidaemia in human labour. Visual versus computerised cardiotocography.
- Abstract
It is obvious to birth-attendants that the bigger and more frequent fetal heart rate (FHR) decelerations (not the whole storey) over a longer period i.e. bigger cumulative deceleration area (DA), the greater the chance of fetal acidaemia/hypotension/hypoxaemic injury. Is the unlabour-like animal study by Georgieva et al.1 confirming this expected correlation a functional publication at all, given that far more pertinent information is already available from well-designed studies in human labour examining DA? This study demonstrates that the "cumulative deceleration area" performs poorly and the study data calls for scientific classification of FHR decelerations.
