Prevention of cerebral palsy with hypoxia index in fetal monitoring

Abstract

Although fetal deaths was decreased by intrapartum fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring, infantile cerebral palsy was not decreased in Dublin trials of electric fetal monitor, thus, an analysis to prevent cerebral palsy was studied, where cerebral palsy is prevented by setting the threshold of hypoxia index at 24 or less, in the analysis of FHR deceleration.
