What is the normal heart rate of a term fetus?
There is controversy about the value of continuous versus intermittent auscultation of the fetal heart during labour, but there is no agreement on what constitutes normal heart rate of a term fetus. There are variations between the definitions adopted by different countries, and even within a single country. We propose 110-160 beats per minute for clinical use.
