CTG interpretation templates affect residents' decision making.

Objective: To study whether a revision of CTG guidelines and educational program influenced the perceived need for intervention by residents in obstetrics and gynecology. A secondary aim was to study the sensitivity and specificity of the classification pathological after classification by residents using two different guidelines in identifying neonates with acidemia.

Study Design: Cardiotocograms, CTGs, from 223 neonates with acidemia at birth (cord blood pH < 7.

Sporadic accelerations during labor strongly indicate normal pH, whereas periodic accelerations do not: a case-control study.

Purpose: To determine the association between the occurrence of sporadic and periodic fetal heart rate accelerations during labor and acidemia at birth.

Materials And Methods: This is a case-control study of fetal heart rate patterns from 364 neonates with acidemia at birth (cord blood pH <7.05 at vaginal birth, or pH <7.

Low sensitivity of the new FIGO classification system for electronic fetal monitoring to identify fetal acidosis in the second stage of labor.

Objective: In 2015, new FIGO guidelines for CTG interpretation were presented (FIGO-15). In 2017, the previous Swedish guidelines (SWE-09) were replaced with guidelines adapted to FIGOs (SWE-17). The performance of these three templates had not been scientifically evaluated before its clinical implementation.

A novel non-antimicrobial treatment of bacterial vaginosis: An open label two-private centre study.

Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal discharge. It is caused by an imbalance in the normal vaginal microbiota. Symptoms include an offensive odour.
