The addition of STan as an adjunct to continuous CTG did not reduce the EmCS rate. The smaller than anticipated sample size for this study meant that it was underpowered to detect absolute differences less than or equal to 5% and therefore this finding is possibly due to a Type 2 error, where a difference may exist but the study was underpowered to detect it.
