    Notes: Objective To assess the potential clinical value of fetal electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring in labour.Design Descriptive study of the use of ECG waveform analysis during labour and its correlation with other indices of fetal and neonatal well-being.Setting Teaching hospital in Oxford.Subjects 86 high risk pregnancies.Main outcome measures Suitability of ST Segment Analyser (Cinventa, Sweden) for clinical use; relation between the T/QRS ratio during labour (an index of ST segment and T wave elevation) and intrapartum cardiotocography, umbilical artery pH at birth and Apgar scores; T/QRS ratio trends in labour.Results The system was robust and user-friendly. No statistically significant relation was found between T/QRS ratios in labour and FHR abnormalities in the cardiotocograph. There was a weak relation between T/QRS ratios and umbilical artery acidosis: at a cervical dilatation of 4 cm, the Spearman rank correlation of the mean T/QRS ratio with umbilical artery actual base deficit was r =−0.31, 0.05〈P〈0.01. The correlation of T/QRS with the umbilical artery pH was not statistically significant, although a trend was present (Spearman rank: r=−0.26, P〈0.05). Correlation of the T/QRS ratio with Apgar scores at 1 and at 5 min was not statistically significant. Only 3 of 16 infants with an Apgar score of 〈7at 1 min had a mean T/QRS ratio above 0.25 at any time during labour.Conclusions Further research is necessary before a decision can be made whether this new method of fetal monitoring should be introduced into clinical practice.

    Notes: Objective— To investigate the prevalence of sinusoidal and pseudo-sinusoidal fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns in labour and the relation between the characteristics of the FHR pattern and fetal outcome.Design— A prospective observational study over a 6 month period in which all women who had continuous FHR monitoring in labour had their intrapartum cardiotocographs (CTGs) scrutinized for the presence of sinusoidal or pseudosinusoidal FHR patterns.Setting— John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.Subjects— 1520 women who had fetal monitoring during labour for various reasons.Main outcome measures— Both internal (electrocardiographic) and external (ultrasound) recordings of the FHR were analysed. Abnormal FHR patterns were related to obstetric characteristics and fetal outcome in terms of Apgar scores, umbilical artery pH and admission to the special care unit.Results— No true sinusoidal FHR patterns were observed, but pseudoinusoidal FHR patterns were found in 230 of the 1520 CTGs examined (15%) Of these, 219 were classified as minor (amplitude 5–15 beatdmin) and 11 as intermediate (amplitude 16–24 beatdmin). Major pseudo-sinusoidal FHR pat-terns (amplitude 〉24 beats/min) were not observed. Minor pseudo-sinusoidal FHR patterns had a mean duration of 21 (SD 13) min and typically occurred once or twice early in labour. Using logistic regression analysis a significant, independent relation was demonstrated between the presence of minor pseudo-sinusoidal FHR patterns and the use of pethidine (RR 1.84,95% CI 1.3 to 2.59, P 〈 0.0001) and epidural analgesia (RR 1.85,95% CI 1.24 to 2.76, P 〈 0.001). Intermediate pseudo-sinusoidal FHR patterns were found in association with both in utero fetal sucking and transient episodes of fetal hypoxia such as that caused by periodic umbilical cord compression.Conclusion— Pseudo-sinusoidal FHR patterns in labour will usually be associated with a normal fetal outcome but a careful fetal assessment is mandatory.

    Notes: Summary. The intrapartum cardiotocographs (CTGs) of 38 severely asphyxiated, term infants, born during a 17-month period, and those of 120 healthy term infants acting as controls were independently reviewed by three investigators who were unaware of the clinical outcome. Interobserver agreement was good (Kappa statistic = 0.74, P〈0.0001). The investigators found that cardiotocographic abnormalities were present in 33 of the asphyxiated infants (87%) and in 35 of the controls (29%) and predicted that the abnormalities were severe enough to lead to significant fetal metabolic acidosis at delivery in 23 asphyxiated infants (61%) and in 11 controls (9%). The differences between the two groups were highly significant (P〈0.001). Using the traditional diagnostic criteria for fetal distress, the investigators found that fetal blood sampling was indicated in 58% of cases in the asphyxia group and in 20% of controls but was only performed in 16% of asphyxiated infants and in 8% of controls. Furthermore, the median response times of delivery suite staff for abnormal fetal heart rate patterns were similar whether the FHR changes, classified using Krcbs' CTG scoring system, were moderate or severe: 80 min and 90 min, respectively. These findings suggest that interpretation of the intrapartum CTG continues to pose major problems for practising obstetricians.

    Notes: Abstract The U.S. Army Laboratory Command, as part of the Department of Defense Robotics Testbed Program, is developing a testbed for cooperative, real-time control of unmanned land vehicles. The program entails the development and integration of many elements which allow the vehicles to perform both autonomous and teleoperated functions. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is supporting this program by developing the vehicle control system using the Real-time Control System (RCS) architecture. RCS is a hierarchical, sensory-based control system, initially developed for the control of industrial robots and automated manufacturing systems. NIST is developing the portions of RCS that control all vehicle mobility functions, coordinate the operations of the other subsystems on the vehicle, and communicate between the vehicle and the remote operator control station. This paper reviews the overall control system architecture, the design and implementation of the mobility and communication functions, and results from recent testing.
