Techniques for antepartum fetal surveillance
1Menifee Medical Center, Frenchburg, Kentucky.
Deciding when to intervene in a pregnancy can be a complicated problem. Several methods of antepartum fetal surveillance can be helpful in the assessment of fetal well-being. The nonstress test is an effective screening tool for fetal well-being. Newer techniques such as the biophysical profile, fetal vibroacoustic stimulation and Doppler velocimetry are also available.
