This book promotes an evidence-based paradigm of fetal heart rate
monitoring during labour, with a move away from the traditional
'pattern-based' interpretation to physiology-based interpretation.
Chapters are presented in a systematic and accessible format,
covering topics such as non-hypoxic causes of fetal brain injury,
pre-existing hypoxia, types of intrapartum hypoxia, erroneous
monitoring of maternal heart rate, fetal scalp blood sampling and
fetal ECG (STAN), intermittent auscultation and medico-legal
issues. Sections on 'pearls' and 'pitfalls' highlight good practice
and common errors to promote best practice. End-of-chapter
exercises allow the reader to engage with the theory and test their
knowledge of key areas. This is a highly practical manual aimed at
obstetricians and midwives, particularly those undergoing CTG
training. The book will also be very useful to midwifery and
medical students and to all those involved in multiprofessional
intrapartum care.
