An apparatus for identifying the level of fetal risk during labor, the apparatus comprising: at least one computer operative to receive input signals indicative of at least fetal heart rate ("FHR") and maternal uterine activity in a patient, the computer operative (i) to determine baseline FHR variability, FHR accelerations, and FHR decelerations, and (ii) to determine when each of at least (a) FHR, (b) baseline FHR variability, (c) FHR accelerations, (d) FHR decelerations, and (e) maternal uterine activity exhibit at least one non-reassuring characteristic from among a plurality of pre-defined non-reassuring characteristics for at least the parameters (a) through (e). The computer is further operative to (iii) receive user-inputs indicative of the presence in the patient of one or more (f) maternal risk factors, (g) obstetrical risk factors, and (h) fetal risk factors which elevate the level of fetal risk during labor, and (iv) to determine at a given point in time during labor a present level of risk to the fetus which takes into account only: the total number of the parameters (a) through (e) that are each simultaneously, independently exhibit at least one of the non-reassuring characteristics at the given point in time during labor, and the total number of the parameters (f) through (h) which are present. An output depicts in a single graphical user interface one or more of the parameters (a) through (h) over time during labor, and the appearance of which single graphical user interface includes indicia for indicating the determined present level of risk to the fetus at any given point in time during labor and signaling the need for possible intervention in labor.L'invention concerne un appareil pour identifier le niveau de risque fœtal pendant le travail, l'appareil comprenant : au moins un ordinateur permettant de recevoir des signaux d'entrée indiquant au moins une fréquence cardiaque fœtale ("FCF") et l'activité utérine maternelle chez une patiente, l'ordina
