Key learning points
- An abnormal antenatal cardiotocograph (CTG) may represent chronic fetal hypoxia.
- Consideration should be given to the use of an antenatal CTG classification system (see example CTG sticker) and/or computerised cCTG.
- Intrapartum CTG classification may not be appropriate in women who are not in established labour.
- Where there are CTG concerns and fetal well-being cannot be further assessed, obtain senior review and consider expediting the birth.
- Clear communication with the woman giving birth, birth partner(s) and maternity team is an essential part of good clinical care.
