Abstract

Intermittent auscultation is the technique used to listen to the fetal heart rate (FHR) for short periods of time without a display of the resulting pattern. Whether it is used for intrapartum fetal monitoring in low-risk women or for all cases in settings where there are no available alternatives, all healthcare professionals attending labor and delivery need to be skilled at performing intermittent auscultation, interpreting its findings, and taking appropriate action. The main aim of this chapter is to describe the tools and techniques for intermittent auscultation in labor.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Most cases of CP originate from the antenatal or postnatal period of life, and epidemiologic studies suggest that in approximately 90% of CP cases an intrapartum hypoxia could not be the cause.

    Section 8, “Limitations of cardiotocography” (page not provided), says only a small proportion of cerebral palsy cases are caused by intrapartum hypoxia/acidosis. It does not establish that most cases originate specifically in the antenatal or postnatal period, or give the claim’s approximate 90% figure. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
