Assessment of wellbeing in the preterm fetus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 October 2008
Extract
The unstated aim of preterm fetal welfare surveillance is to enable the obstetrician to delay delivery if a fetus is not at risk of death or permanent damage. Although the penalty for preterm delivery has decreased with advances in neonatal care, the obstetric goals of prolonging pregnancy and minimizing intervention persist. The modern goal of minimizing costs also dictates appropriately timed delivery.
