Course Summary

The Physiological CTG Interpretation Master class, a one-day course, offers an unparalleled opportunity to deepen understanding of CTG interpretation and assess real-life obstetric emergencies.

The program encompasses learning the principles of intermittent auscultation (IA) in low-risk patients and the criteria for transitioning to CTG monitoring. Participants will gain insights into the physiology behind CTG patterns and the technology employed in CTG machines.

 

Furthermore, the course includes applying risk management strategies to mitigate hypoxic injuries during labor through interactive case reviews. 



Learning Objectives

This master class aims to enhance participants proficiency in interpreting CTG traces by providing a thorough understanding of fetal physiology and pathophysiology of intrapartum hypoxia, subsequently, reducing hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy with its long-term sequale (cerebral palsy and learning difficulties), without increasing unnecessary operative interventions. 

 

Physiological CTG interpretation represents a paradigm shift from Pattern recognition - based guidelines to one grounded in fetal physiology aiming to understand the underlying pathophysiology behind features observed on the CTG trace to institute a timely and appropriate action when there is evidence of fetal decompensation. 

 

Who Should Attend

  • Trainees and residents in obstetrics and gynecology seeking to improve their understanding and application of CTG principles and to improve their skills in CTG interpretation

 

  • Midwives and other healthcare professionals involved in fetal monitoring and decision-making during labor and delivery.

 

  • Medical professionals aiming to enhance their knowledge of fetal physiology and its practical application in CTG interpretation
