Electronic fetal heart rate monitoring is a useful monitoring tool to assess intrapartum fetal wellbeing and has been shown to improve perinatal outcomes in at-risk fetuses. This article describes the benefits, criticisms of its use during labour, the pathophysiology and care pathway based on the cardiotocogram features.
