Abstract
Antepartum cardiotocography has been used in the Department of Obstetrics of the De Wever Hospital in Heerlen, The Netherlands, since July, 1971, with the purpose of detecting respiratory placental insufficiency during pregnancy. The case reports of five patients, whose fetuses died antenatally or were delivered by cesarean section with acidotic asphyxia, show that intrauterine hypoxia during pregnancy may manifest itself in the CTG in various ways. In a sixth patient the antepartum CTG changed after bed rest in the lateral recumbent position.
