Our findings indicate some deviations from clinical recommendations in the use of intrapartum fetal monitoring in Norway. Three units used intermittent CTG for women without risk factors. Almost one in four units routinely used admission CTG, despite national clinical recommendations. The lack of access to fetal blood samples or STAN in units using CTG is of concern.
