Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main aim of the study is to compare the clinical performance of two adjunctive methods to CTG in intrapartum fetal monitoring: FBS with measurement of scalp lactate and ST analysis of the fetal ECG.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We use Lactate as a standard adjunctive method in our hospital but we have STAN software available ( is demasked) in our CTG monitors. We will include all women in labour with an intern scalp monitoring and analyse the CTG, the lactate samples and the STAN signals in the same patient and

* Study the relationship between the decision-to-delivery interval and neonatal morbidity in deliveries monitored by scalp lactate measurement
* Compare the diagnostic capability of both methods to identify fetuses at risk of hypoxia
* Compare the false negative alerts from both methods
* Explore the temporal and quantitative relation between fetal lactate metabolism and ST interval changes of the fetal ECG

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Fetus in labour at risk of acedimia

The Group of patients studied are fetuses in labour at risk of hypoxia with internal fetal monitoring and scalp lactate bloodsamples ( standard monitoring).

STAN ( St wave analysis) and fetal blood sample-lactate

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The CTG will be analysed by an expert group additional to the standard procedure that have been done in Labour already. The STAN analysis will be decrypted/ demasked anonymously by the Company producing these machines.

Fetus in labour at risk of acedemia with STAN analysis

Same group of fetuses in labour at risk of hypoxia with internal fetal monitoring and STAN analysis(ST waveform analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram, opened after study inclusion finished)

STAN ( St wave analysis) and fetal blood sample-lactate

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The CTG will be analysed by an expert group additional to the standard procedure that have been done in Labour already. The STAN analysis will be decrypted/ demasked anonymously by the Company producing these machines.
