Accelerations in "intra-partum" cardiotocographic record. IV. Correlation with the presence of a funiculus pathology.
The Authors compare the presence of accelerations and variable decelerations in a group of cases showing funiculus anomalies and in a control group. The group with funiculus pathologies showed a lower average frequency of accelerations and a higher frequency of variable decelerations than the control group. Furthermore, it was confirmed that an average of more than 5 accelerations is a clear indicator of fetal well-being.
