The new, 2nd Edition of this convenient handbook provides practical guidance in interpreting electronic fetal heart rate patterns. Completely rewritten with a greater emphasis on the practical management of patients, it enables readers to minimize damagecaused by fetal asphyxia, and to manage pregnancies with limited obstetric intervention. Review of First Edition:: The ease with which one can read the handbook is a tribute to the authors organization and conciseness. This work is recommended reading for all perinatal health care providers. --Perinatology and Neonatology
