“…The widespread adoption of the 2-mm guarded blade has now largely eliminated the complication of fetal hemorrhage which has been recorded following scalp stab blood sampling (Beard et al, 1966), although occasional disasters have been recorded associated with fetal coagulopathies (Hull, 1972;Hull and Wilson, 1972).…”

“…BALFOURT et al [4] report six complications in 1200 FBA on 678 fetuses; in 3 fetuses an abscess developed in the scalp and in the other 3 prolonged hemorrhages occurred. FBA have been described [9,16]. In one case the incision was too deep, so that the lateral vein of the sagital sinus was severed.…”

Intrapartum feto-maternal monitoring (f.-m. m.), which was first introduced by CALDEYRO-BAR-CIA [12] and SALING [42], can be regarded äs the foundation of perinatal medicine. Its use not only reduced perinatal mortality repidly, but also increased our knowledge of the pathology and physiology of labor and their influence on maternal äs well äs fetal metabolism. In spite of this, critical comments regarding the dangers and even the need for f.-m. m. were published recently [25]. These unexpected requests to look at birth again äs a natural, physiological process, making machines, and even delivery rooms unnecessary, raised doubts regarding the advantages of f.-m. m. The criticism even went so far äs to state that f.-m. m. influences the physiological condition of a newborn child unfavorably. It would seem that the pendulum has swung back to what is described äs "natural childbirth", returning us to the days when PINARD's stethoscope was regarded äs a modern, sufficient and effective Instrument in supervising the well-being of a fetus in labor. In 1979 DÜNN [18] published a list of the dangers of f.-m. m. without giving exact figures of their frequency, which shocked those who have introduced this technique in their own delivery rooms. It was this paper which encouraged us to collect data regarding the benefits äs well äs the hazards of f.-m. m. on a large scale, to answer most of the questions raised by DÜNN [18]. We also intend to give exact figures calculated from a large number of cases monitored in various centers with different degrees of experience.2 Patients and methods 2.1 In 1978 we sent a list of 27 questions to 20 hospitals where German is spoken, regarding certain problems of f.-m. m.
