- Title
Intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring: Rationalise, refine or replace?
- Authors
Crouch, Catherine; Seeho, Sean; Morris, Jonathan
- Abstract
Monitoring the fetal heartbeat underpins assessment of fetal wellbeing in labour. Although commonly employed in clinical practice, shortcomings remain. A recent review of clinical practice guidelines highlights the variation in definitions of the fetal heart rate that will lead to differences in interpretation. Will intrapartum care be improved by greater consensus around clinical practice guidelines through rationalisation or refinement of guidelines, or will the future see this technique replaced by more accurate forms of fetal monitoring?
