Abstract
Continuous fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring is used to assess the fetal condition during labour. Unfortunately, FHR patterns are not always easy to interpret, with low sensitivity and specificity as consequence. Other continuous methods for fetal surveillance have been proposed during labour (e.g. transcutaneous pO2 and pCO2, and pH-monitoring), but are not widespread used.
