Objective:To study the clinical significance of central electric-fetal monitoring system for ante-partum observation and measurement.Methods:The experimental group (253 pregnant women who delivered in our hospital from January

2001 to August

2003) was monitored with the central electric fetal monitoring system.The control group (250 pregnant women who delivered the children in our hospital from July

1998 to September

2000) was not monitered with this system.Then

the results of fetal monitoring and the outcome of prenatal fetuses of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results:The rate of abnormal FHR was markedly higher in experiment group(30.8%) than in the control group(17.2%)

and the rate of variable deceleration in abnormal graph was markedly higher in the experimental group (28.8%) than in the control group (12.4%).There was a significant difference is significant between the two groups.The incidence of asphyxia among newborns was lower in the experimental group (4%) than in the control group (8.4%)

and the difference is significant between the two groups.However

there was no significant difference in the rate of cesarean delivery and Simpson forceps delivery between the two groups.Conclusion:Ante-partum monitoring assisted by central electric-fetal monitoring system can improve the prenatal prognosis and increase the rate of cesarean delivery.
