Electronic Fetal Monitoring: A Standardized Approach
Rebecca Cypher, MSN, PNNP

Obstetric clinicians with their knowledge and skills, remain one of the 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 not 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 are included.

Traumatic Birth Experiences: Best Practices to Minimize Impact to Mom and Baby
Donna Weeks, DNP, RNC-OB, C-EFM, APN

Over 20% of women report a traumatic birth experience. An obstetrical emergency is just one factor that contributes to this experience for women. The experience can have far-reaching effects — on the maternal-infant relationship and breastfeeding, as well as subsequent births. It may cause not only psychological stress but also physical pain. Symptoms range from irritability to flashbacks. Women describe their experiences as degrading and inhumane. We need to acknowledge birth trauma and its effect on women and their families.
