What
is Cardiotocography?
Cardiotocography:(CTG) is used in pregnancy to
monitor both the fetal heart as well as the contractions of the uterus. It is
usually only used in the 3rd trimester. Its purpose is to monitor fetal
well-being & allow early detection of fetal distress. An abnormal CTG
indicates the need for more invasive investigations & ultimately may lead
to emergency caesarian section.
