This work is focused on the validity of computerized fetal heart rate monitoring. Therefor, subpartual cardiotocograms (CTGs) were retrospectively analysed by the classification program „Trium CTG Online“ and these results, basing on the FIGO Score, were compared to the temporal corresponding fetal pH values. Short term variation (STV) and every single component of the FIGO Score was also correlated with the fetal pH values. The collektive consists of 263 births in the Frauenklinik Rechts der Isar (Munich) during the years 2000-2002. A significant correlation between the computerized analysis of the FIGO Score and the fetal pH value could be varified (p=0.0003). However, a correlation between STV and fetal pH value wasn`t found. Regarding the single FIGO Score components, it`s the deceleration with the best correlation to the fetal pH value.
