Foetal Surveillance - Cardiotocography (CTG)
Foetal Surveillance - Cardiotocography (CTG)
CPD hours: 2.0
Cardiotocography (CTG) is real time physiology and can be best understood and the fetus managed appropriately, if the genesis of fetal heart rate control is appreciated.
Appreciating these potential responses and the physiology involved can assist in recognising and managing a compromised fetus.
