Looking for trustworthy and accessible information about fetal monitoring options? This is where to find it.
The decision to use CTG monitoring (also called electronic fetal monitoring or EFM) or intermittent auscultation, or neither during labour can have significant impact on birth outcomes for women and their babies. Maternity professionals have an obligation to know, and apply evidence from credible research. It is clear there is a HUGE gap between what is known from research and what happens in practice. One of the many reasons for this incomplete knowledge.
Dr Kirsten Small PhD is the powerhouse behind the Birth Small Talk brand. She is a retired obstetrician with a wealth of clinical experience AND a PhD in fetal monitoring. Her critical and sensitive analyses of research make previously hidden findings accessible.
