Abstract

Fetal well-being depends on adequate functioning of sources and balance between supply of oxygen and waste removal mechanisms. These include maternal system, the placenta, the uterus and the umbilical cord. At this time relationship between specific fetal heart rate patterns and fetal academia is supported by observational studies and the relationship appears to be strong. The high risk groups and low risk group population were selected by history, clinical examination and relevant investigation. The study population consists of 229 women. Out of which 130 high risk patients and 99 low risk patients of Booked & un-booked cases from OBG OPD, wards, prelabour & labor room. In our study, out of 229 cases 130 were high risk pregnancy and 99 cases were low risk pregnancy. Out of 130 high risk pregnancies there were 82 non-reactive NST and 48 non-reactive CTG.
