@melaniethemidwife (aka Melanie Jackson) has put together a fabulous summary of our recent research paper. Thanks Melanie – you have captured it really well! Small, K. A., Sidebotham, M., Fenwick, J., & Gamble, J. (2020, Sept). Intrapartum cardiotocograph monitoring and perinatal outcomes for women at risk: Literature review.

Computerised interpretation of the #CTG with #INFANT doesn’t save healthcare costs. It is time to abandon it.
Don’t assume that because something is standard practice in your part of the world that it is based in sound evidence.
Personalised growth charts don’t seem to be the solution we hoped for. #GAP #StillbirthPrevention
Women and babies continue to get on with the task of birth, even though science hasn’t quite worked out how they do it.
The thinking that went into the creation of CTG monitoring was itself fundamentally flawed.
