Intermittent auscultation (IA) as fetal monitoring during labour: a systematic scoping review to identify methods of IA and their effects

The aims are to produce a map of all different methods of performing IA during childbirth and their effects, advantages and disadvantages. Scoping reviews allow researchers to examine all types of research literature and grey literature within their chosen area and apply a systematic approach to mapping the literature, methods, evidence, theories and research gaps within a specified area.
