title: Current concepts in management of obstetric problems for pediatricians. I. Monitoring the high-risk fetus.
abstract: Modern pediatric/neonatal practice demands an understanding of fetal monitoring. Biochemical techniques have given way to biophysical and ultrasonographic modalities in an attempt to improve both sensitivity and specificity. Simple techniques such as fetal movement counts show promise and are being investigated.
