All professional organizations (ACOG, AWHONN, AAP, ACNM) and patient safety advocate organizations (IOM, IHI, NQF) support multidisciplinary EFM education and training. This education series is divided into several parts. This part’s modules concentrate on concepts regarding the application of oxygen physiology to the NICHD 3-Tier FHR Interpretation Category System, general interventions administered to gain more information about the maternal-fetal condition, interventions administered to reduce uterine activity, and interventions administered to promote fetal oxygenation.
All professional organizations (ACOG, AWHONN, AAP, ACNM) and patient safety advocate organizations (IOM, IHI, NQF) support multidisciplinary EFM education and training. This education series is divided into several parts. This part's modules concentrate on tying the previously discussed interventions together with the ACOG and AWHONN management algorithms.
All professional organizations (ACOG, AWHONN, AAP, ACNM) and patient safety advocate organizations (IOM, IHI, NQF) support multidisciplinary EFM education and training. This education series is divided into several parts. This part’s modules concentrate on uterine contraction data related to the baseline rate and variability, abnormal uterine contraction patterns that are frequently seen during labor, and the evaluation and calculation of Montevideo units.
One in three pregnant patients run the risk of experiencing uterine tachysystole (UT) during labor augmentation or induction with oxytocin. Reducing UT diagnosis-to-treatment time can avert adverse patient outcomes and decrease the risk of an obstetric malpractice claim. This two-part series focuses on early recognition utilizing EFM skills and swift management of uterine tachysystole (UT) based on professional organizations’ guidelines.
