Fetal monitoring by combined CTG and FBA.

Cardiotocography still is the main method to monitor the unborn child during birth. Today, problems occurring during CTG-surveillance are not so much due to the method, but a consequence of insufficient management. Fetal monitoring by combined CTG and FBA brings advantages for mother and child. The use of FBA in cases with pathological fetal heart patterns leads to a significant reduction in cesarean section rate, neonatal morbidity and perinatal mortality.
