[Fetal heart rate monitoring in the upright pregnant woman].

In a prospective study were performed methods for electronic supervision in 163 lying and standing patients beyond the end of pregnancy. Results of the nonstress test (NST) and standing challenge test (SCT) were correlated with late and severe variable decelerations of fetal heart rate during labor, Apgar scores at 5 minutes and pH in arterial cord blood.
