Antepartum fetal surveillance aims to prevent fetal death and avoid unnecessary interventions. Methods include fetal movement count, uterine growth assessment, antepartum fetal heart rate testing like nonstress tests and contraction stress tests, biophysical profile, and Doppler velocimetry. Abnormal test results may indicate fetal compromise and require additional testing or delivery depending on gestational age. Multiple variables are assessed and scored in the biophysical profile to evaluate acute and chronic fetal well-being and oxygenation status. Normal test results predict good neonatal outcomes while abnormal results indicate increasing levels of suspected fetal acidosis requiring intervention.
