Keeping up with physiology research

If we don’t understand physiology, we don’t know what we are doing when we are monitoring the fetus. What’s the latest on physiological control of the fetal heart rate?

Can #CTG changes predict the degree of severity of brain injury seen on #MRI? Yes. And is this information useful in practice? Not yet…. #HIE
Might it be feasible to do prolonged periods of #CTG monitoring at home? This new research helps to take another step to answering that question. #EFM #Antenatal #FetalMonitoring #NifECG
A new approach to CTG monitoring improves comfort and mobility during labour.
Could there be a big change coming? What would happen if CTGs were no longer accepted as legal evidence?
Asking whether hospital birth is safe is very different to asking whether home birth is safe. What does the latest Cochrane review say?
It’s tiny, it’s cool, and it does something that #CTG sensors can’t do. What is it?
This is my regular reminder that CTG monitoring is a choice. Write like you believe this is true.
CTG monitoring is often recommended for women with higher BMI. What does the evidence say?
It seems logical that it should work, but focussing on fetal movement hasn’t improved outcomes. And I think I know why… #CTG #Ultrasound #IOL #Birth #Maternity #Midwifery #Obstetrics
