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

高危分娩的妇女通过电子胎儿监测仪监测其婴儿。这可以检测到未出生的婴儿在分娩过程中不适应，但可能会错误地表明婴儿处于危险之中，从而导致不必要的剖腹产。我们将比较CTG和STan监测，后者可能会给出更少的错误读数。我们将展示STan是否减少了紧急剖腹产，并将调查对婴儿的影响，评估心理健康和幸福感等心理方面以及成本。

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.
