[Influence of electronic monitoring of the fetus on the frequency of surgery and on the status of the newborn infant].
In the years from 1971 to 1974 the rate of fetal monitoring of high risk deliveries rose from 3.0% to 23.7%. In this time our clinic become a center of high risk pregnancies (reproductive failure and prematurity). By this way we could not show a decrease of the perinatal and intranatal mortality. The increase of caesarean sections from 3.0% (1968) to 6.0% (1974) was caused by the increasing of high risk patients. Fetal monitoring is not a cause for rising of operative frequency. By means of fetal monitoring the Apgar score of the newborns from mothers with severe diseases is not significant worse than from newborns of mothers with more easy diseases.
