I forwarded your letter to our professor, Ingemar Ingemarsson, who is a
world specialist i CTG. I´ll translate his answer.
"I very much doubt that there is such an association. I have searched the
"Bible" Fischer (ed.): "Kardiotokographie" where it isn´t mentioned. Apart
from that most topics are delt with in 600 pages.
Besides, if the mother is treated with Terbutalin she can have very severe
maternal hypocalaemia, without any effect on CTG Mvh Ingemar ".
Hope it is to any help for you!
