“…Continuous recording of the fetal heart rate and rhythm provides the most constant surveillance of fetal well-being, supplemented by fetal scalp blood sampling if indicated (Saling, 1962(Saling, , 1965Beard, Morris and Clayton, 1966). We have utilized a variety of fetal scalp electrodes such as the "clip type" described by Hon (1963Hon ( , 1967, "suction type" (Walker el al., 1969) and "fish-hook" (Shelley, 1970).…”

Equipment has been developed for the automatic infusion of oxytocin using a positive pressure peristaltic pump. The automatic setting starts the infusion at 1 milliunit of oxytocin per minute and doubles the dose every 12.5 minutes. When contractions are of adequate strength and frequency, the "manual" control is used to maintain the oxytocin dose rate, and for immediate and accurate adjustment to any required level. Using this equipment in a series of 130 cases, the average induction-delivery interval was less than 8 hours. Continuous records of amniotic fluid pressure and fetal electrocardiography showed normal uterine contractions and fetal heart rate patterns.

“…MANY centres have introduced fetal scalp blood sampling during labour as a routine procedure in cases of fetal distress since Saling described the technique in 1961.

An Assessment of the Value of Fetal Scalp Blood Sampling

The value of fetal scalp sampling in reducing perinatal mortality, birth asphyxia and Caesarean section rate was assessed by a retrospective study of 2638 booked patients who were delivered in 1966. By using this technique it is possible that the perinatal mortality rate might be reduced from 15.9 to 15.2 per thousand, i.e., by 2 deaths per year. The incidence of birth asphyxia might be improved, but for this to be significant all patients would require repeated monitoring during labour, since about 40 per cent of asphyxiated babies showed no evidence of clinical fetal distress during labour. Since clinical fetal distress was the main reason for Caesarean section in only 18 booked patients, little experience would be gained in the technique of scalp blood sampling and the value of the results would be suspect, and it is likely that in less than half of these cases would operative delivery be prevented.
