MSMaria Söröd EGErika Gyllencreutz

Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the effects of central fetal monitoring on neonatal outcomes, particularly metabolic acidosis.
Retrospective observational cohort design
Comparison between cohorts with paper CTG and digital central fetal monitoring
Analysis of neonatal outcomes including metabolic acidosis
No significant difference in incidence of neonatal metabolic acidosis between the two cohorts
No notable variations in other neonatal outcomes observed

Abstract

We observed no difference regarding the incidence of neonatal metabolic acidosis or other neonatal outcomes between the cohort that had CTG registered and printed on paper, and the cohort with digital central fetal monitoring.
