title: Intrapartum use of fetal heart rate monitoring, contraction monitoring, and amnioinfusion.
abstract: Fetal heart rate monitoring, uterine contraction monitoring, and amnioinfusion are procedures used commonly during labor that have also improved our understanding of intrapartum physiology, although there are limitations to the ability of these procedures to improve pregnancy outcome. The current status of intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring, uterine contraction monitoring, and amnioinfusion is reviewed.
