    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Fetal distress screening is crucial in high-risk pregnancies.
    • The non-stress test (NST) is a widely adopted method for this purpose.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the indications, performance, interpretation, and limitations of the non-stress test.
    • To establish the NST as a standard evaluative tool for family physicians.

    Main Methods:

    • The paper reviews the technical aspects of performing the non-stress test.
    • It details the criteria for interpreting NST results, focusing on reactivity.

    Main Results:

    • A reactive non-stress test is a highly reliable predictor of fetal well-being.
    • The predictive value of a reactive NST extends up to one week.

    Conclusions:

    • The non-stress test is a technically simple and noninvasive procedure.
    • Family physicians can utilize the NST as a standard tool for evaluating fetal well-being in high-risk pregnancies.
