SummARy Introduction: There is a big gap in fetal moni-toring in obstetric patients undergoing cesar-ean section during the transoperative period. Despite the astonishing technological develop-ments in all medical areas, we have failed to develop a practical method for the evaluation of the fetus wellbeing during a c-section interven-tion. Objective. A non-invasive and practical method is suggested that can be used in a site distant from the abdominal surgical field to record the continuous fetal heart rate as an indicator of fe-tal wellbeing. This task would not only involve the anesthesiologist, but the obstetrician and the pediatrician as well. Methodology. Producing an article that should be food for thought, based on a question asked by students of anesthesiology in the OR (grad-uate and postgraduate students), about a RESumEn Introduccion. La monitoria fetal en pacientes obstetricas que son intervenidas de operacion cesarea tiene un gran vacio, que corresponde al periodo transoperatorio. Pese al desarrollo vertigi-noso de la tecnologia en todos los ambitos de la medicina, no ha sido posible establecer un metodo practico para evaluar el bienestar fetal durante la cesarea.
