1. Deficient bodies and divine interventions : women, midwives, and the medicalisation of childbirth - a gender perspective
Sammanfattning : Background In Sweden, one of the safest countries to give birth and to be born in, there is a trend towards increasing interventions during childbirth, and fewer women than ever give birth without having their labours induced or augmented, epidural analgesia, or caesarean section. While interventions at times are vital for a safe birth, there is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that an overuse of medical and technological interventions may have adverse effects on woman and child.

2. Fetal ECG waveform analysis for intrapartum monitoring
Sammanfattning : Waveform analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram has been studied since the early seventies from both physiological, signal processing and clinical aspects. It has been found to contain more useful information than the mere detection of RR-intervals (fetal heart rate), e.g. LÄS MER
3. New approaches on fetal and maternal intrapartum monitoring
Sammanfattning : Background: Intrapartum fetal monitoring aims to prevent adverse outcomes due to intrapartum asphyxia. Cardiotocography (CTG) is an established method for intrapartum monitoring. The method has high sensitivity, but low specificity and is also user-dependent and linked to both inter- and intraobserver variability. LÄS MER
4. Lactate as an early marker of intrapartum fetal hypoxia
Sammanfattning : Background: Cardiotocography (CTG) is the main method for intrapartum fetal surveillance in many countries. The method has a high sensitivity, but a poor specificity, which leads to an increased rate of interventions compared with auscultation. LÄS MER

Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the prevalence and labour outcome of a prolonged latent phase of labour, quality of care, women’s experiences and preferences during labour, and to psychometrically test a questionnaire.Methods: Qualitative and quantitative methods.
