Abstract
Assessing the fetal heart rate (FHR) is one of the most important aspects of antenatal care and delivery. Fetal heart rate is one indicator of fetal well-being. Assessing FHR can be done by auscultation or by using a cardiotocography (KTG) device, also known as an Electronic Fetal Monitor (EFM). In interpreting the results of the cardiotocography examination, there are two criteria used to interpret the condition of the fetus, namely the criteria issued by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).Keywords
