Abstract

It is important that professionals using electronic fetal monitoring are aware of various aspects regarding interpretation and clinical value of the trace. In practice, there are some typical misunderstandings and mistakes, which can lead to unexpected and sometimes adverse outcomes. One of the most frequent errors is the recording of maternal blood vessel pulsation (maternal insertion), instead of the fetal heart. In this article, a case of maternal insertion is presented and implications for practice are discussed.
