AB Fetal  heart  rate  (FHR)  monitoring  is  the  most  common  obstetric  procedure.  It  is  performed  to  detect  fetal  hypoperfusion,  hypoxia,  and  acidosis.  When  the  FHR  tracing  is  abnormal,  resuscitative  measures  are  taken  to  increase  O2  delivery  to  the  placenta  and  improve  umbilical  blood  flow.  Ultimately,  a  cesarean  section  might  be  performed  if  the  FHR  tracing  continues  to  be  concerning.  In  2009,  American  College  of  Obstetricians  and  Gynecologists  (ACOG)  issued  a  bulletin  to  streamline  the  nomenclature  and  management  of  FHR  monitoring  to  decrease  inter-  and  intraobserver  variability  in  interpretation.1,2
