This course addresses principles of fetal heart monitoring and may be used as a knowledge assessment tool to validate comprehension of experienced perinatal clinicians. This course includes lecture, hands-on skill stations including performing Leopold maneuvers, placement of an intrauterine pressure catheter and fetal spiral electrode, interpretation of fetal monitoring tracings using a case-based approach, identification of physiologically based clinical interventions, and communication and risk management principles. Online prerequisite education is required prior to attending the one-day course. Successful completion of the online knowledge validation test is required to receive CNE/CME for the course. This course can be used to support preparation for certification examinations.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Interpret fetal heart rate monitoring using NICHD terminology within a safety culture framework of interdisciplinary teamwork.

Describe clinical interventions and related maternal-fetal physiology to optimize fetal oxygenation.

Demonstrate collaborative communication in the perinatal setting.

Demonstrate common perinatal procedures related to fetal monitoring.

ONLINE PRE-COURSE WORK is REQUIRED prior to attending the in-person class. When you registered, you will received the new 6th Edition Fetal Monitoring Principles and Practices Testbook and 7th Edition Intermediate Fetal Monitoring Course Student Materials.
