[Comparison of continuously monitored labor to unmonitored labor with reference to mortality and morbidity of the infant].
The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate differences with respect to infant morbidity and mortality following cardiotocographically monitored versus non-monitored deliveries. The observation period was 2 years. In particular, mortality was significantly higher in the non-monitored group of neonates weighing over 2500 g than in the monitored group of the same birth weight. The incidence of brain oedema in the group of infants where no cardiotocography had been employed during delivery was also higher. The results of this study are discussed.
