Overview
Intrapartum fetal heart monitoring is the standard of care for women in labour in the UK and many other countries. However, it frequently falls short, especially due to inaccurate interpretation of CTG. This can lead to either adverse outcomes (including stillbirths, hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy and neonatal deaths) or unnecessary unwarranted interventions in labour. In both circumstances, the mental and physical health of the mother could be potentially harmed.
Several reports have raised concerns about maternity safety in the UK; some of these concerns were related to fetal heart monitoring.
The primary aim of this webinar is to educate healthcare professionals in maternity services on accurate interpretation of intrapartum CTG in order to reduce adverse outcomes and avoid medicolegal litigation.
As a global organisation, it is paramount that the RCOG is actively involved in conducting and educating healthcare professionals globally on the interpretation of CTG. Correct interpretation of CTG will go a long way in achieving goals as recommended by Each Baby Counts progress report.
