Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic involvement of the newborn's central nervous system is a serious problem, often leading to permanent disability in the child. Hypoxia during childbirth is one of the most common causes of this condition.
Several methods are currently known for monitoring the condition of the fetus during childbirth. Classical cardiotocography (CTG), a method with good sensitivity but low specificity, is usually supplemented mainly by fetal pulse oximetry (IFPO) and fetal ECG recording (STAN).
The use of both examination methods is accompanied by a wide professional discussion. ST-analysis The fetal ECG curve has a greater quantitative potential for assessing fetal hypoxia and should provide greater screening specificity.
The work points out hypoxic changes during childbirth, their dynamics and describes the principle of the ST-analyzer and the principles of evaluation of its record. On A group of 42 women offers the possible use of CTG + STAN birth monitoring in high-risk pregnant women.
