Re-Visiting the Role of Intra-Partum Cardio-Tocography (I-P CTG) In Cerebral Palsy Jurisprudence: Time to Take Cognizance by George Gregory Buttigieg KM* in Degenerative Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities
Both clinical obstetrics as well the relevant medico-legal litigation
were severely led down by false scientific conclusions emanating from
the USA in the 1960's. The false assumptions considered birth asphyxia
as the predominant cause of newborn Cerebral Palsy and proclaimed the
just introduced fetal cardio-tocography (CTG), as the great saviour from
CP through the detection of intra-partum hypoxia. Although today,
fifity odd years later, science that neither conclusion is correct, CTG
has retained its misplaced strength in CP litigation. Not only does it
still hold much pre-eminence in both UK and US jurisprudence, but
sometimes, it constitutes the sole basis of discussion.
