Focus on cardiotocography: Intrapartum monitoring of uterine contractions

Uterine contraction monitoring is most often ignored when discussing the benefits of fetal monitoring (Bakker 2007a; Freeman et al, 2012) Monitoring the uterine contraction (UC) and the fetal heart rate (FHR) enables the assessment of the relationship between the UC and the FHR (Bakker et al, 2007a) When using oxytocin in augmented or induced labours, intrapartum guidelines recommend that UCs should be monitored continuously (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), 2014)
