Analysis of cardiotocographic recordings preceding intrauterine death of fetus with non-immunological hydrops

Continuous, 12 hours-long cardiotocographic recordings preceding intrauterine death of fetus (in 29 week) with non immunological hydrops were analysed. The features of CTG recordings were: absence of short and long-term variability, absence of tachycardia, presence of late decelerations, and terminal bradycardia of short duration.
