Abstract
Much of the material discussed in this chapter is based on the pioneering work of Caldeyro-Barcia (1975), who originated much of today’s technology for fetal monitoring. Caldeyro-Barcia stresses three possible sources of intrapartum risk to the newborn (Table 17):
-
1.
The risk of early rupture of membranes (ROM).
-
2.
Inadequate use of oxytocin to stimulate uterine contraction.
-
3.
The position of the mother during labor.
