Changing Trends of Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring in the United States

Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring

  • 141 Accesses

Abstract

Whenever a new development occurs, the attitude of society will usually evolve through the following psychological stages: (1) excitement, because of the new development; everyone is excited to see or to participate in the new development; (2) speculation; after a trial for a certain period, people start to question the value of this new development; some may oppose it; (3) adjustment; as time goes by, trial and error will help people to readjust their attitude toward the development; and, finally, (4) acceptance. Fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring in the United States has gone through these stages, and is now approaching the final stage of acceptance.
