Antepartum cardiotachometry for fetal evaluation.
Results of 686 nonstress tests with fetal monitoring were analyzed and compared to neonatal outcome. The use of an antepartum cardiotachometry screening (ACS) protocol seems to have reduced the perinatal mortality and morbidity in a high-risk group of patients to that of a low-risk group who did not undergo ACS.
