Talking O&G - a RANZCOG Podcast · E21. Unpacking RANZCOG’s Intrapartum Fetal Surveillance Clinical Guideline (audio) · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

New technologies, we've got um uh fetal ECG analysis, we've got fetal pulse oximetry, computer decision aid CTG monitoring, and then maybe in the not too distant future, AI um supported decision-making um interpretation.

So of those fetal pulse oximetry and the computerized ST wave analysis for the fetal ECG.

really haven't got past the research stage.

So they're not recommended in um the clinical settings at the moment.

Unfortunately, you know, again, the the trial that's out there of the um uh computerized computer decision age CTG monitoring, the infant trial, lots of criticisms of the um the

method, um maybe some confounding because it was done, you know, on the same birth suite.

It was a negative trial.

So again, at the moment, I can't say that the evidence is really supporting the use of computer decision aids for CTG interpretation.

A really AI, you know, machine learning based system is not yet available is the bottom line.

Um we all think that maybe um that sort of um

system might be of benefit because of the known variability with um interpretation of CTGs and how it's so um dependent on people picking the factors that are significant in it, but um uh not yet available.

So we'll wait with great enthusiasm.

Yeah, um looking forward to it.

From an improvement point of view, um, we're always really keen to standardize care.

You know, I hope this guideline will contribute to um services offering um uh the same care and the same kind of care and the same kind of opportunities to women anywhere in Australia.

And I think the w last time I did F SEP they included some work on um situational kind of judgment, which I thought was a great advance as well.
