[Assessment of fetal well-being during labor]

Nowadays the intrapartum assessment of fetal well-being and obstetric intervention during labor demand careful clinical examination and the knowledge of techniques such as cardiotocography, amnioinfusion, fetal scalp blood sampling and ultrasonography. The diversity of methods demands understanding and interpretation of fetal distress signals. The aim of this paper is to give a possible guidance in intrapartum assessment of fetal well-being.
