Advanced Concepts in Fetal Heart Monitoring
The fetus is dependent on uterine blood flow, placental exchange, umbilical blood flow, oxygen transport to tissue and the fetal innate compensatory factors to control fetal heart rate (FHR).

Target Audience
Obstetricians, Gynecologists, Nurse Practitioners (General), Physician Assistants, Nurse Midwives and all other interested healthcare professionals.
