About this Event
INMO Fetal Monitoring – Physiological Interpretation Workshop for Midwives
This 6-hour Workshop is designed to provide midwives with an evidence-based and practical approach to fetal heart rate monitoring, with particular emphasis on intrapartum cardiotocography (CTG).
The workshop will explore current evidence and best practice surrounding fetal surveillance during labour, supporting participants to develop a deeper understanding of the principles underpinning fetal heart rate monitoring.
Participants will develop their ability to systematically assess and interpret CTGs, identifying and describing the key features of the trace, including baseline rate, variability, accelerations, decelerations and uterine activity. The workshop will explore physiological interpretation of the CTG, enabling participants to consider the significance of individual features in the context of the overall clinical picture rather than relying solely on a classification system.
Through interactive discussion and clinical case scenarios, participants will have the opportunity to practice CTG classification and interpretation, develop their critical thinking skills and consider appropriate responses to changing fetal heart rate patterns.
The workshop will also address intelligent intermittent auscultation, exploring its principles, application, and role within intrapartum fetal surveillance. Best practice in the documentation and recording of fetal monitoring will be discussed, including the importance of accurate, contemporaneous documentation and clear communication within the multidisciplinary team.
