Timing is very important during birth.
Unforeseen events can happen and the condition of the fetus can suddenly change.
It is therefore important to have an accurate, real-time view of the well-being of the fetus.
And while electronic fetal monitoring is one of the most common tools for this, there is no evidence that using CTG alone improves obstetric outcomes.
For this reason, the STAN method was developed, a unique analysis tool for fetal monitoring.
Consisting of a device with all standard CTG functions plus ST analysis, the method shows the ECG curve of the fetus, measured with an electrode attached to the fetus' scalp.
This provides a continuous and central message from the fetal heart – minute by minute.
Facts about ST analysis:
A stable ST interval indicates a fetus with a positive energy balance in the myocardium.
If the fetus is exposed to severe hypoxia and the heart muscle cells have to use anaerobic cell metabolism, the electrical charge of ions across the cell membranes will change.
This will affect the fetal ECG curve and the STAN monitor will register the change.
STAN will display a warning on the screen in the form of a black box – an ST event.
The time and what type of event is automatically registered in the event log.
Great today, brilliant for the future:
STAN S41 is a complete, compact and portable CTG device with an integrated printer and the capacity for integrated telemetry.
In addition, you can view and interpret all information directly on the large screen.
With all the features you expect from a CTG device, the STAN S41 comes with external monitoring and maternal parameters as standard.
Its flexible design supports many different configurations.
You can upgrade the STAN S41 at any time to exploit its full potential and have a device adapted to the workflow in your clinic.
Choose from the following options:
• Internal FHR monitoring with scalp electrode.
• ST analysis of fetal ECG.
• Monitoring of internal uterine activity via IUD catheter.
• Integrated telemetry monitoring for ease of use and portability.
• Large color touchscreen.
• Quick release trolley and wall mount for portability.
• Battery powered operation for monitoring during transport.
• Triplet ultrasound FHR.
We accompany you all the way:
An understanding of fetal pathophysiology is crucial for optimal fetal monitoring.
To improve knowledge and skills in this area, including the use of CTG and ST analysis, the Neoventa Academy offers midwives and physicians both practical and theoretical training based on authentic cases, as well as the possibility of certification.
Our training materials are designed to help obstetricians recognize and interpret the physiological responses of the fetus in case of oxygen deprivation.
When you purchase STAN S41 with ST analysis, you also receive customized training and implementation based on your individual requirements.
Risk management at a human level:
Birth is one of the greatest challenges of our lives.
We want to shape every baby's journey into the world.
The unique STAN method – CTG monitoring combined with the groundbreaking ST analysis – is the result of research that began over 40 years ago and is still being advanced today.
ST analysis provides continuous, reliable information about the well-being of the fetus and automatically warns of increased oxygen deficiency.
This makes ST analysis a valuable tool for obstetric staff.
They must take appropriate measures to ensure that more healthy babies are born and that vaginal births are possible for more women.
Wide range of improvements in meta-analyses:
• 34–39% reduction in metabolic acidosis in term infants.
• 36–41% reduction in fetal scalp blood samples.
• 7–8% reduction in surgical interventions.
Evidence that speaks for itself:
ST analysis is one of the most studied fetal monitoring methods.
Several important randomized trials and many observational studies have been published with strong results: ST analysis facilitates monitoring of fetal well-being.
ST analysis has contributed to a reduction in metabolic acidosis in term infants, the collection of scalp blood samples and the number of operative deliveries worldwide.
Here are some of the many results that show how ST analysis has contributed to a better experience for mothers, babies, obstetricians and hospitals.
