TY - GEN N2 - Continuous electronic fetal monitoring has not been shown to improve long-term neonatal outcomes. It is instead linked to increased rates of cesarean sections and assisted vaginal deliveries. Increasing the rate of intermittent auscultation is one proposed solution to decrease the cesarean rate. Guidelines for fetal monitoring are not specific about which patients are considered low-risk for uteroplacental insufficiency and should be monitored with intermittent auscultation in labor. Monitoring decisions are often left up to the discretion of the admitting provider.
