The Goal of Continuous Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring During Labor: Have We Been Successful?
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology 2020 September
Despite its ubiquitous use, fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring has not resulted in a significant reduction in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy following delivery. This manuscript reviews the reasons for this failure including limitations of FHR to accurately predict hypoxia, low prevalence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and lack of standardization of interpretation and intervention. We propose an alternative goal for FHR monitoring during labor to provide optimal care by early identification of truly concerning features, initiation of appropriate interventions, clear documentation of concerns and plans, and clear communication between team members on labor and delivery, including initiation of the chain of command as needed.
