Cesarean section performed because of fetal distress routinely leaves the fetus unmonitored for a variable period of time (perioperatively and intraoperatively). We present in this report two cases in which continuous fetal heart rate monitoring during cesarean section modified the obstetric management for the benefit of the mother and of the fetus.
