STan intrapartum fetal monitoring (cardiotocographic plus electrocardiographic) compared with cardiotocographic (CTG) monitoring alone: an Australian randomised controlled trial

处于高危分娩状态的妇女通过电子胎儿监护仪对婴儿进行监测。这会检测到未出生的婴儿在分娩过程中没有应对能力，但可能会错误地指示婴儿处于危险之中，从而导致不必要的剖腹产。我们会将CTG与Stan监测进行比较，后者可能会给出较少的错误读数。我们将展示斯坦是否会减少紧急剖腹产，并将调查对婴儿的影响，评估心理方面，如心理健康和福祉，以及成本。

Women in high risk labour have their babies monitored by electronic fetal monitoring. This detects unborn babies not coping during labour, but may lead to unnecessary caesarean sections by incorrectly indicating that the baby is at risk. We will compare CTG to STan monitoring, which may give fewer false readings. We will show if STan reduces emergency caesarean section, and will investigate the impact on the baby, assess psychological aspects such as mental health and wellbeing, and costs.
