2 transducers onto abdomen

• one for FHR
• one for uterine contractions

only use CTG if it would change what you would do

RANZCOG

normal CTG (low probability of fetal compromise)

• Baseline rate 110-160 bpm.
• Baseline variability of 6-25 bpm.
• Accelerations 15bpm for 15 seconds.
• No decelerations.

The following features are unlikely to be associated with fetal compromise when occurring in isolation:

• Baseline rate 100-109 bpm.
• Reduced or reducing baseline variability 3-5bpm.
• Absence of accelerations.
• Early decelerations.
• Variable decelerations without complicating features.
