GRAPHIC=PRE-NATAL CARE
While it's fairly easy for a doctor to tell how a mother is handling the
stress of labor, it is not so easy to tell how the baby is doing.
Doctors use a test called electronic fetal monitoring to check on the
infant through labor and delivery.
It's been used for years, but now researchers are now saying it may not be
as helpful as once thought.
Dr. Emily Senay takes a look at the test and the controversy.

OUT Q=going well.
Signals from the baby are picked up from a transducer placed on the
woman's abdomen and transmitted to a computer. Doctors then must interpret
these signals.
Labor is a stressful time for mothers and babies.
Doctors use fetal monitoring to tell the babies heart rate--a heart rate
that is too fast or too slow can mean an infant in distress.
Dr. Boris Petrikovsky is an obstetrician specializing in high risk
deliveries.
(/////SOT/////)
SOT
IN Q=We try
((DR. BORIS PETRIKOVSKY, OBSTETRICIAN, NORTH SHORE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

RUNS=:00
OUT Q=babies heart
Decreased blood flow--reflected in a change in fetal heart rate--can
lead to brain damage, organ damage, and even the death of an infant.
If a doctor feels an infant is in distress he or she may opt for a
caesarean section...and that's exactly the problem according to authors of a
recent study in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. They found that
routine use of fetal monitoring leads to more c-sections--- and does "not"
decrease fetal or maternal deaths.
The only benefit found: a reduction of neonatal seizures.
Dr. Petrikovsky says interpretation of fetal monitoring results is part of
the problem.
(/////SOT/////)
SOT
IN Q=Occasionally
((OCCASSIONALLY BABY CAN DEMONSTRATE A PARTICULAR SIGN ON THE TRACING THAT MAY
APPEAR AS IF THE BABY IS IN TROUBLE THEREFORE MIN INTERPRETING OF THE FETAL
HEART, NOW AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT CAN LEAD TO UNNECESSARY OBSTETRICAL
INTERVENTION SUCH AS A C-SECTION.))
RUNS=:00
OUT Q=C-section.
The study also found that electronic monitoring is no better at
spotting distress than the old fashioned method of listening to the fetal heart
rate with a stethoscope. But many experts say eliminate fetal monitoring
altogether could also be dangerous.
(/////SOT/////)
SOT
IN Q=We strongly
((WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT SOME SORT OF FETAL HEART RATE MONITORING SHOULD BE
IMPLEMENTED IN EACH LABOR BECAUSE THE CHOICE BETWEEN HAVING A STILLBIRTH OR
EXPOSING YOURSELF TO A SLIGHTLY HIGHER RISK OF CAESAREAN DELIVERY MOST PATIENTS

RUNS=:00
OUT Q=first choice.
So far the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists agrees.
It says monitoring either electronically or with a stethoscope is
advisable, but leaves the final decision up to the woman and her doctor.
The authors of the current study say a careful review of the routine use of
fetal monitoring is necessary before doctors will know exactly what is safest
for mothers and babies.
