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
Does antenatal CTG monitoring save lives?
Are we doing more harm than good when we use a #CTG for a woman with reduced movements?
Are admission CTGs effective?
Should we offer women a CTG when they present in labour? The answer is a clear NO. #CTG #EFM #EvidenceBasedCare @decdevane @valeriesmithTCD
Customised growth charts and stillbirth prevention: New research
Personalised growth charts don’t seem to be the solution we hoped for. #GAP #StillbirthPrevention
If fetal movement monitoring on its own doesn’t work, will adding a blood test to it improve outcomes?
It is heartening to see that care is being taken to ensure that rigorous research is being done before introducing a new test into practice.
The admission CTG: does it improve outcomes?
Today’s post summarises the evidence about the use of admission CTGs.
Fetal movement monitoring and stillbirth prevention: What’s new in research?
Does teaching women to focus on the movements of the fetus prevent stillbirth, or does it create a new set of problems?
