| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Fetal heart rate patterns. Timepoint: Continuous fetal heart rate monitoring. Method of measurement: In this study, the normal fetal heart rate pattern based on the standard protocol means a heart rate between 110-160 beats per minute and a beat-to-beat variability of 5-25 beats per minute during labor and the pathological fetal heart rate pattern means a late deceleration in heart rate relative to to uterine contractions, early deceleration means a decrease in heart rate at the same time as uterine contractions, variable deceleration means a decrease in heart rate unrelated to uterine contractions, prolong deceleration means a deceleration in heart rate of more than 2 minutes in 10 minutes of continuous heart rate monitoring, tachycardia means a heart rate of more than 160 and bradycardia means a heart rate of less than 110 and reduced variability means changes of less than 5 beats per minute. | — |
