Increasing use of intermittent auscultation of the fetal heart among low-risk laboring patients: a quality improvement project [PDF]
Continuous electronic fetal monitoring has not been shown to improve long-term neonatal outcomes. It is instead linked to increased rates of cesarean sections and assisted vaginal deliveries.

Monitoring fetal electrocortical activity during labour for predicting worsening acidemia: a prospective study in the ovine fetus near term. [PDF]
BackgroundSevere fetal acidemia during labour with arterial pH below 7.00 is associated with increased risk of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Electronic fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring, the mainstay of intrapartum surveillance, has poor specificity for

Deep Learning for Continuous Electronic Fetal Monitoring in Labor
Continuous electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is used worldwide to visually assess whether a fetus is exhibiting signs of distress during labor, and may benefit from an emergency operative delivery (e.g. Cesarean section).

Characteristics of Heart Rate Tracings in Preterm Fetus
Background and Objectives: Prematurity is currently a serious public health issue worldwide, because of its high associated morbidity and mortality. Optimizing the management of these pregnancies is of high priority to improve perinatal outcomes.

Electronic Fetal Monitoring-Imperfect but Opportunities for Improvement.
Being born is one of the riskiest endeavors that most of us have undertaken. For example, the risk of dying or developing cerebral palsy ranges from 1 in 500 to 1 in 1000 associated with events around the time of birth.

Background: The relationship between non-reassuring fetal heart rate (FHR) pattern, acidemia at birth and neonatal morbidity remains unclear. Our aim was to compare low versus high pH cord blood infants of women detected with a Category II FHR pattern ...
