Intrapartum Resuscitation Interventions for Category II Fetal Heart Rate Tracings and Improvement to Category I.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate intrapartum resuscitation interventions and improvement in category II fetal heart rate (FHR) tracings.

Methods

This secondary analysis of a randomized trial of intrapartum fetal electrocardiographic ST-segment analysis included all participants with category II FHR tracings undergoing intrauterine resuscitation: maternal oxygen, intravenous fluid bolus, amnioinfusion, or tocolytic administration. Fetal heart rate pattern-recognition software was used to confirm category II FHR tracings 30 minutes before intervention and to analyze the subsequent 60 minutes. The primary outcome was improvement to category I within 60 minutes. Secondary outcomes included FHR tracing improvement to category I 30-60 minutes after the intervention and composite neonatal out
