Fetal heart monitoring questioned
Study: Practice has 'no advantage' in routine pregnancies
BOSTON (AP) — The common
habit of continuously monitoring fe
tal heartbeat during childbirth leads
to slightly more Caesarean deliveries
but doesn’t produce healthier ba
bies, a new study concludes.
Although continuous electronic
monitoring is considered prudent
during high-risk pregnancies, the
researchers found that it carries no
advantage for routine deliveries,
even though most doctors use it for
all births.
“There are no infant benefits that
we could detect in low-risk deliv
eries,” said Dr. Kenneth J. Leveno of
the University of Texas Southwes
tern Medical School.
The study was published in
Thursday’s New England Journal of
Medicine, along with a second paper
suggesting that private doctors per
form more Caesarean sections than
do residents on hospital staffs.
In both cases, researchers sug
gested that tear of malpractice suits
is one factor prompting physicians
to monitor fetal hearts and deliver
infants by Caesarean section.
Since introduced almost two de
cades ago, fetal monitors have be
come a standard tool in delivery
rooms.
Leveno’s study suggests that when
doctors use the monitor with the
sensor strapped to the mother’s ab
domen to look lor trouble, thev wil
find it, even when none exists.

moving from an industrial age to a
high-tech age and therefore, noth
ing is more important than a com
mittment to education.
“No investment our government
can make will pay richer dividends
than an investment in education,” he
said. “Unquestionably, balancing the
budget is high priority but we’ve got
to distinguish between costs and in-
sestments.
“Government is like any other
business. The day it stops investing
in its future is the day it starts to de
cline.”
Barton also addressed a question
concerning further cuts in the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service.
He said no representative wants to
cut or reduce a program his constit
uents support and that TAES has
done a lot for Texas farmers.
“But I also believe the number
one problem facing this country is
the deficit,” he said.
The extension service is not
exempt from any automatic cuts un
der Gramm-Rudman, Barton con
tinued, and it would receive across-
the-board cuts if Congress refuses to
make priority decisions.
But Geren said that Barton voted
for a budget that wouldn’t just trim
TAES but would have cut it bv 57
percent.
Agriculture, he continued, is the
nation’s largest industry and is fac
ing serious problems.
“We’re having a difficult time
competing in the world of interna
tional trade,” Geren said. “We’ve
had an agricultural deficit for the
last three months — unheard of in
the last 30 years of our nation’s his
tory.
“Yes, we've got to cut . . . but we’ve
got to distinguish between expenses
and investments. We’ve got the best
agricultural industry in the world,
but we’ve got competition now . . .
from other agricultural nations.
“If we’re going to stay the best ag
ricultural nation in the world we’re
going to have to continue to invest to
make it better.”
Texas A&M plays a big part in the
research that helps agriculture, Ge
ren said.
“If we back up now and stop mak
ing these investments in the future
we are shortchanging future genera
tions just as much as we are when we
pile on big budget deficits they’re
going to have to pay for,” he said.
