Brain changes and accelerations
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
New research
Who gets to decide?
Most women want to be involved in decisions about their maternity care. Do many actually get what they want?
Noninvasive fetal ECG – how does it compare with standard CTG?
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
Women’s experiences with new monitoring technology
A new approach to CTG monitoring improves comfort and mobility during labour.
Assessing the safety of hospital birth
Asking whether hospital birth is safe is very different to asking whether home birth is safe. What does the latest Cochrane review say?
Cool new technology
It’s tiny, it’s cool, and it does something that #CTG sensors can’t do. What is it?
Why does heightened awareness of reduced fetal movements not prevent perinatal death?
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
Up is good, down is not
New evidence about the relationship between decelerations, accelerations, and hypoxic brain injury.
The CTG as medicolegal protection
“You’ll get sued if you don’t put a CTG on”. Is it true? @louiseroth
