The document outlines the 2015 revised FIGO guidelines for classifying fetal heart rate patterns during labor into normal, suspicious, or pathological categories based on the baseline heart rate, variability, and presence of decelerations. A normal category indicates low probability of fetal hypoxia or acidosis and no intervention is needed. A suspicious category has a low probability of issues but action may be needed to address reversible causes or increase monitoring. A pathological category has a high probability of fetal hypoxia and immediate action is required to correct reversible causes or expedite delivery if needed to improve oxygenation.
