Synopsis
Essential concepts are presented in an accessible manner and examples are well illustrated with case histories. Identifiable heart rate patterns are described and the pathophysiological explanations emphasise the significance of the different fetal heart rate patterns.
Midwives are at the 'front line' as they deliver most of the bedside care in the labour ward, and particularly when caring for women at home. However, they are part of a wider team. This book will help ensure that both midwives and doctors share a consistent and informed approach to fetal monitoring.
Demonstrates clearly how to interpret fetal heart-rate patternsExplains clinical relevance of findings and how to respond in a rational mannerUses wealth of real case examples and traces
