Abstract
A metaanalysis of 12 randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials of over 37,000 women which acts how effective continuous cardiotocography during labor is. This study compares
continuous cardiotocography (with and without fetal blood sampling) with no fetal monitoring, intermittent auscultation, and intermittent cardiotocography. Fetal cardiotocography
is associated with a decrease in the incidence of neonatal seizures, an increase in instrumental vaginal births and caesarean section rates, and no obvious impact on cerebral palsy
and perinatal mortality rates.
