Can a little tickle help?
Does stimulating the fetus improve outcomes from CTG monitoring? Answers from a RCT.
CTG
Cardiotocograph monitoring
What does it take to make CTG monitoring happen?
One third of intrapartum care is taken up by fiddling about with the CTG
Comparing intrapartum CTG monitoring guidelines
Which fetal monitoring guideline is the best one to use?
What’s the deal with early decelerations and head compression?
Why is it no longer OK to teach that early decelerations are due to head compression?
What’s new in research?
Post term risks, colour coded CTG interpretation, anaemia, and bias – research that caught my eye recently
Four things every person working in maternity care needs to know about CTGs
Here are the four things I wish everyone working in maternity care knew about CTG monitoring
Being with woman, not with machine
CTGs draw attention from the woman to the technology. Can different technology solve the problem?
Could this be the solution? Transabdominal fetal oximetry
Could measuring oxygen levels of the fetus directly be the answer we are looking for? @ChristineEast2
Physiological CTG interpretation – I have questions
The history of maternity care is littered with stories of half-baked science that becomes embedded in practice and only too late is discovered to be ineffective and challenging to step away from.
