Abstract：In 2008, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine partnered to revisit nomenclature, interpreta-tion, and research recommendations for intrapartum electronic fetal heart rate monitoring. This article provides a summary of the discussions at the workshop. This includes a discussion of terminology and nomenclature for the description of fetal heart tracings and uterine contractions for use in clinical practice and research. A three-tier system for fetal heart rate tracing interpretation is also described so that the EFM can be applied in clinical practice.
