Perinatal outcome in monitored and unmonitored high-risk deliveries

Z Weinraub et al. Isr J Med Sci. 1978 Feb.

Abstract

The benefit of fetal heart rate monitoring was evaluated by comparing the perinatal outcome in 1.246 high-risk pregnancies and deliveries--554 monitored and 692 unmonitored. Intrapartum and early neonatal mortality were significantly lower in the monitored group (P less than 0.05). This study provides evidence that fetal heart rate monitoring improves the fetal outcome of high-risk deliveries.
