Popis: The family physician has opportunities for reducing perinatal morbidity and mortality. The potential for a high-risk pregnancy must be recognized. Important elements in the management of a high-risk pregnancy include determination of fetal age, ultrasound, estriol determination, contraction stress test, nonstress test, lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio and scalp blood pH measurement. Electronic fetal monitoring, including direct techniques, should be used in the course of labor.
