=== Updated 2015 FIGO Intrapartum Fetal Monitoring Guidelines ===
FIGO has recently modified the guidelines on intrapartum fetal monitoring, proposing the following interpretation:<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.figo.org/news/available-view-figo-intrapartum-fetal-monitoring-guidelines|title=Available to view: FIGO Intrapartum Fetal Monitoring Guidelines|website=[[International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics]] (FIGO)|date=23 November 2015 |language=en|access-date=2017-06-26}}</ref> 
*'''Normal''': No hypoxia or acidosis; no intervention necessary to improve fetal oxygenation state.
**Baseline 110–160{{nbsp}}bpm
**Variability 5–25{{nbsp}}bpm
**No repetitive decelerations (decelerations are defined as repetitive when associated with >50% contractions)
*'''Suspicious''': Low probability of hypoxia/acidosis, warrants action to correct reversible causes if identified, close monitoring or adjunctive methods.
**Lacking at least one characteristic of normality, but with no pathological features.
* '''Pathological''': High probability of hypoxia/acidosis, requires immediate action to correct reversible causes, adjunctive methods, or if this is not possible expedite delivery. In acute situations, delivery should happen immediately.
** Baseline <100{{nbsp}}bpm
**Reduced or increased variability or sinusoidal pattern
**Repetitive late or prolonged decelerations for >30 min, or >20 min if reduced variability (decelerations are defined as repetitive when associated with >50% contractions)
**Deceleration >5 minutes
