Abstract

We have monitored fetal heart rate and fetal scalp blood composition to assess their value in predicting fetal condition and to study some aspects of fetal physiology.

I wish to thank the medical and nursing staff of the Queen Victoria Hospital and the staff of the Department of Obstetrics for their help and cooperation in completing this work. A grant from the Felton Bequest supported this research.
