ABSTRACT
A controlled prospective study of the effects of fetal monitoring on mothers and infants was conducted at Denver General Hospital, Denver, Colorado. A total of 690 high-risk patients in labor were randomly assigned to one of three groups; auscultation alone, electronic fetal monitoring and electronic fetal monitoring with the option to obtain a scalp pH sample. Maternal and neonatal infectious morbidity after vaginal or cesarean delivery was unchanged with internal fetal monitoring. Despite frequent antibiotic prophylaxis (95% cesarean section v. 11% vaginal), cesarean section was the most significant factor associated with increased maternal puerperal infectious morbidity (13.75% cesarean section v. 3.9% vaginal). Although hours of labor, hours of rupture of membranes, hours of internal catheter, number of exams and presence of meconium were not associated with increased maternal infection, prolonged hours of internal catheter usage greater than 8 hours and prolonged rupture of membranes greater than 12 hours were associated with increased antibiotic usage in the neonate.
