ABSTRACT
Fetal monitoring in the intrapartum and peripartum periods is important for the well-being of both baby and mother. Electronic fetal monitoring was first designed over 50 years ago in an attempt to improve perinatal outcomes. Its purpose is to assess fetal oxygenation and acid-base status during the antepartum course when indicated and during labor. Maternal assessment begins early in gestation with blood pressure monitoring and urine protein excretion to diagnose potential complications, such as severe hypertension and preeclampsia/eclampsia.
