This study identifies cases of unexpected intrapartum fetal deaths over 20 years in a Canadian tertiary hospital. Of 121,659 births, 82 were intrapartum deaths. Eleven fetuses were considered viable and nonanomalous. Six deaths were deemed ideally preventable. Application of electronic fetal heart rate monitoring and rapid operative delivery may reduce the already low rate of intrapartum fetal deaths.
本研究确定了加拿大一家三级医院20年来意外的产时胎儿死亡病例。在121,659例分娩中，有82例为产时死亡。11例胎儿被认为是存活且无异常的。6例死亡被认为是完全可以预防的。应用电子胎心监护和快速手术分娩可能会降低本就较低的产时胎儿死亡率。
