Introduction:

Emerging evidence suggested improvement in maternal and perinatal outcomes after implementation of the physiological interpretation of CTG in the maternity units in the UK and in several other countries. Intrapartum related hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy(HIE) and the rate of emergency caesarean sections for suspected fetalcompromise is reduced as a result.
