Popis: This chapter provides an overview of standard fetal monitoring during labor and delivery, how to choose between and interpret current monitoring modalities, and proper resuscitative measures to initiate for a fetus demonstrating compromise. This chapter starts with current fetal monitoring techniques, including the associated strengths, weaknesses, and risks, then goes through interpretation of fetal heart rate strips, and discusses appropriate resuscitative measures. From there, specific medications and common fetal effects are explored from start of labor through delivery. Medications for treatment of preeclampsia, induction of labor, and pain relief during labor are discussed.
