    Abstract

    Despite evidence demonstrating no neonatal benefit, the medicolegal climate in the United States requires obstetricians to integrate continuous intrapartum surveillance into their care of the pregnant laboring patient. The intent of this article is to familiarize the reader with the most recent, standardized, quantitative nomenclature recommended to describe intrapartum CTG in order to reduce miscommunication among providers caring for the laboring patient, propagate consistent, evidence-based responses to CTG patterns, and systematize the terminology used by researchers investigating intrapartum CTG.
