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. 000008057 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008057 650__ $$aCardiotocography$$028175 000008057 650__ $$aAuscultation$$015228 000008057 6531_ $$aelectronic fetal monitoring 000008057 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000008057 7001_ $$aMiller, Caroline$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008057 8564_ $$9abd16d18-5cfc-42e1-a310-6213db784489$$s428330$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8057/files/Miller.Caroline.2020.pdf 000008057 905__ $$a/rest/prod/8s/45/q9/40/8s45q940d 000008057 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8057$$pstudent-work 000008057 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
