title: [Term pregnancy: the review and development of fetal surveillance protocols].
abstract: The authors have analyzed the reasons behind the changes in clinical and biophysical monitoring of term and post-term pregnancies. In particular, there is an assessment of the results of NST monitoring over a one-year period. Furthermore, the importance of the introduction of new methods of labour induction by means of intracervical PGE2 is also discussed and there is a reference to the results. It is clinically evident that these methods have contributed to modify the problem of term-pregnancy management. Finally, there is a presentation of the new version of up-to-date procedures based on more clinical experience and more recent statistics on the subject.
