Obstetric clinicians with their knowledge and skills, remain one of most important elements in high-quality intrapartum care. Unfortunately, after several decades of clinical use, many uncertainties continue to surround intrapartum monitoring including interpretation, management, and other related decision-making processes. When clinicians are not current in fetal monitoring or do have a firm grasp of basic concepts, there is a risk for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. This can have a significant negative impact on families and the healthcare system. Therefore maternal-fetal safety is of the utmost importance. Thus, continuous learning that includes contemporary research is fundamental for patient safety and for optimizing perinatal outcomes. An overview of fetal monitoring principles as well as updated research will be presented in this 2-hour recorded session.
