Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main goal of this prospective observational study is to collect data to record maternal and neonatal outcomes of fetal monitoring during labour by using the conventional CTG (DU or FSE and TOCO). The collected data will be control data for an implementation study for the NI-fECG, which will be performed later this year. Maternal outcomes: episiotomy and its indication, spontaneous vaginal deliveries and operative deliveries (vacuum extractions or caesarean section) with indication (fetal distress and/or failure to progress). Neonatal outcomes: FBS during delivery, birth weight, gender, Apgar score, admission to a neonatal ward, pH in umbilical artery and vein. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The rate of deliveries in which placement of FSE was used, and how often FBS was performed. Complications during delivery and postpartum: shoulder dystocia, intrapartum maternal fever, eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, thrombosis, wound infection, endometritis, mastitis. This study serves as an important step towards prospective observational collection of data concerning monitoring during delivery on a larger scale. In addition, big data will provide reliable results concerning outcomes of obstetrical care in different subgroups in secondary and tertiary obstetric clinics. | — |
