Electronic Monitoring of the Fetal Heart

This accessible guide has been written with the clinical midwife very much in mind. It complements the theoretical teaching on fetal heart rate monitoring which is now an integral part of the midwifery curriculum and provides up-to-date information for use in the clinical situation.The text is supported by a wide range of antenatal and labour fetal heart rate traces to help the midwife develop her ability to interpret cardiotocograph traces. Most chapters are summarized with key facts and case histories are included. The book includes a reference section, a glossary of terms and a list of recommended further reading.
