Placental insufficiency remains the major reason for fetal hypoxia and accounts for 20-40% of perinatal mortality. There is no unanimity of opinion in the obstetrical community concerning the use of available tests of fetal well-being. These antepartum tests may be divided into three major groups:
a. Fetal heart rate assessment (NST, OCT).
b. Assessments of fetal biophysical activities other than fetal heart rate (fetal breathing movements, fetal gross body movements, fetal tone, and assessment of amniotic fluid volume).
c. Evaluation of maternal-fetal circulation (Doppler assessment of uterine, umbilical and major fetal vessels).
