Intrapartum cardiotocograph (CTG) monitoring is widely used in the provision of maternity care in high-income countries. First introduced into clinical practice in the 1960s, it was anticipated that the use of CTG monitoring in labour would dramatically reduce the perinatal mortality rate and prevent long term neurological injury, while also reducing the caesarean section rate (Paul & Hon, 1970, Obstetrics & Gynaecology 35(2), 161-9).Intrapartum cardiotocograph (CTG) monitoring is widely used in the provision of maternity care in high-income countries.
