title: Fetal assessment in low-risk pregnancy.
abstract: The value of directed management based on contemporary fetal assessment techniques in the high-risk pregnancy is undisputed. Whether such benefits are evident in the low-risk pregnancy is now an issue of considerable clinical and economic importance. Recent literature suggests that extension of fetal surveillance to the low-risk pregnancy yields significant improvement in pregnancy outcome.
