    Abstract:
    Cardiotocographic monitoring (NST) is well accepted in obstetrical practice. It provides direct and valuable information about neurological and myocardial function of the fetus. In a retrospective and prospective study, including 544 preeclamptic women for period of 10 years cardiotocographic monitoring of the fetus was applied. At admission in 427 (82.80%) of the cases, CTG readings were found normal. In the rest of 89 (17.20%) preeclamptic patients the NST records were found pathological. A correlation between mean values of resistance indices (RI) of umbilical and uterine arteries (RI = 0.73; RI = 0.75 respectively) and pathological NST was demonstrated. A similar correlation is found for newborn's Apgar score at 5th minute--7.16. Although the difference is found statistically significant, it is not possible to conclude that Doppler velocimetry is more predictive than cardiotocographic records.
