TO live is to breathe, and life-sustaining oxygen is as important to survival during the prenatal period as it is after a baby enters the world. In fact, fetal distress or reduced oxygen supply is one of the most feared birth problems. Some 25,000 babies die annually as a result of this and related! diseases, Many afflictions can be corrected after delivery, but fetal distress produces its damaging effects at critical in- tervals before delivery when it There is a a i between uterine contractions preparatory to delivery and the fetal heart rate. The contractions necessary to ac- complish delivery and slowing of the fetal heart rate may occur normally or as a is difficult for physicians to detect any irregularity.

Deprivation of oxygen before or during delivery can cause still birth, brain damage or an assortment of Jess significant problems. The lone method for detecting fetal distress has been the intermittent checking of heart sounds" with" a stethoscope. But now physicians at Duke University Medical Center are using equipment that provides continuous and simultaneous monitoring of fetal heart and labor activity during labor and delivery. This important information is displayed an instrument panel while the fetal monitoring graphically charts i dentical data. According to Dr.
