I found this to be an interesting article about the study that ended about the Fetal Blood Monitors in the LA Times.
I really thought they had come up with an alternative to the fetal blood sampling process. However instead of setting up the study to look at those babies who looked they were having oxygen issues, they made it a ROUTINE intervention. Will they ever learn? Maybe if they would have only used it for questionable monitor strips, they could have reduced the cesarean rate.
