Describe Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring - EFM may be external, internal or a combination In the US, the majority of women have EFM during some or all of their labors Each modality has both pros and cons Describe Doppler Ultrasound - The doppler US transducer is used to assess FHR characteristics and patterns. The transducer translates sound wave reflections into waveforms which are interpreted by a computer and then exported as an audible sound and a waveform pattern. Problems: FHR artifact, ...
