Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM), which is a noninvasive means of evaluating
fetal well-being, characterized by easy operation, low cost, and continuous
monitoring, can reflect fetal well-being to some extent and thus is
commonly used in clinical practice. It assists obstetric medical staff in detecting
fetal ischemia-hypoxia or acidosis on a timely basis, but non-standard use
of it may increase the probability of a cesarean section owing to “abnormal
monitoring results.” Rational use of the EFM technology and normative interpretation
of EFM patterns helps to detect fetal ischemia-hypoxia or acidosis
more effectively, thereby suppressing the increase in the cesarean section rate
caused by misinterpretations. In this book, the clinical application methods of
EFM and precautions for use are described from multiple angles including
the operation of EFM equipment, the basic definition and interpretation standards
of patterns, the clinical analysis of prenatal and intrapartum cases, and
the aversion of risks. Besides, the editorial board members’ years of clinical
experience are summarized based on the latest clinical guidelines in the hope
of providing obstetric medical staff with a concise, comprehensive, and practical
book on EFM skills as a theoretical and practical basis for guidance on
clinical decision-making.
