We show that most litigations against obstetricians have to do with fetal cardiotocography. The experts called upon in this matter are faced with great difficulties mainly because of the variability in the interpretation of the cardiotocogram. The following questions are addressed: can one do without the fetal heart rate recording during labor? What is the relevance of such recording? The issue of the quality and of the storage of the recordings is addressed. So as to avoid the litigations, we suggest to respect "the right practice" which is developed.
我们表明，针对产科医生的大多数诉讼都与胎儿心率监测有关。在这个问题上被召集的专家面临巨大困难，主要是因为胎儿心率监测图解读存在变异性。以下问题得到探讨：分娩期间能否不进行胎儿心率记录？这种记录有何相关性？记录的质量和存储问题也得到了探讨。为避免诉讼，我们建议遵循已制定的“正确做法”。
