Abstract
Fetal monitoring is required to avoid hypoxic injury during ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT). We performed a tracheostomy under EXIT in a case of suspected airway obstruction caused by a cervical teratoma. The scalp electrode was applied for continuous fetal heart rate monitoring. This device enabled us to promptly deal with fetal bradycardia caused by cord compression. We describe here the usefulness of the fetal scalp electrode for fetal monitoring under EXIT.
