More Fetal Monitoring Debate

We are writing in response to "The Fetal Monitoring Debate," by Drs Hobbins et al in the June 1979 issue of Pediatrics, in which the authors comment extensively on our review "Costs and Benefits of Electronic Fetal Monitoring." That Dr Hobbins and his colleagues are strongly committed to electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is quite evident in their response. Unfortunately, factual errors and misunderstandings appeared in their commentary, a selection of which should be called to the attention of your readers.
