Which of the following is true regarding early deceleration in a CTG (cardiotocography)?
Early deceleration coincides with the uterine contraction and is a result of increase in vagal tone since the foetal intracranial pressure rises with uterine contraction. Ref: Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialities, 8th Editio, Page 45.
It is due to increased vagal tone in the foetus
It is due to foetal hypoxia
It is due to raised BP in the mother
It is due to cord compression
