Deciding what to measure and why it matters
Measuring outcomes in fetal monitoring research: there’s more to it than at first glance.

The CTG as a networked agent

Does CTG monitoring during labour work?
I’ve written quite a bit about what the research says about CTG use during labour. Here’s a collection of posts for people who want to explore further.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room
Research findings linking poor outcomes with abnormal CTG patterns reinforce the message that CTG monitoring isn’t effective. Why aren’t we talking about it?
Giving oxygen when the CTG is abnormal
I’ve updated this blog post to include new research findings. (Spoiler: oxygen therapy still doesn’t work)
Brain injury and fetal heart rate patterns
We don’t actually know which fetal heart rate patterns predict developing brain injury. Why?
Going backwards with fetal monitoring guidelines
Fetal monitoring guidelines should be evidence-based and assessed to ensure they are fit for purpose.
Language matters
I write about the importance of language from time to time. Here’s a collection of all these thoughts in the one place.
Population effects of introducing STAN technology
New research from Norway confirms no benefit from STAN systems. @EllenBlix
