The reliability, validity, and efficacy of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) remain matters of controversy. In fact, several professional organizations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, have endorsed the use of intermittent auscultation for low-risk pregnant women. Nevertheless, in 1996, 83% of laboring women in the United States are monitored electronically. Nurses should encourage healthy, low-risk pregnant women to weigh carefully decisions about the use of EFM.
电子胎儿监护（EFM）的可靠性、有效性和功效仍然存在争议。事实上，包括美国妇产科医师学会在内的几个专业组织都支持对低风险孕妇使用间歇性听诊。然而，在1996年，美国83%的分娩妇女接受了电子监护。护士应鼓励健康的低风险孕妇仔细权衡有关使用电子胎儿监护的决定。
