"Fetal heart rate monitoring is widely used by almost every obstetrician as a way to document the case and to help decrease health care costs. This is a short reference on the physiologic benefits, instrumentation, application and interpretation of fetalheart rate monitoring. The second half of the book uses actual FHR strips and cases to illustrate various anomalies (fetal distress, fetal distress in prematurity, fetus with CNS dysfunction). Several new drugs have been introduced for use during labor that effect FHR"--Provided by publisher.
First published in 1981, this book provides obstetrical care physicians with a reference for managing patients using fetal heart rate monitoring as a means of primary surveillance. This third edition updates interpretation of heart rate tracings, includes results from the National Institutes of Health workshop, and includes coverage of fetal pulse oximetry for clarifying the significance of nonreassuring fetal heart rate patterns, and new areas of concern regarding infection resulting from fetal inflammatory response. The authors are all professors of medicine, U. of California, Irvine. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
This book offers clinicians involved in perinatal care a detailed and in-depth perspective on electronic fetal monitoring (EFM). Topics include EFM management, antepartum and intrapartum fetal assessment and application of EFM in abnormal pregnancy, obstetrical complications, fetal acid-base balance, and fetal arrhythmias. Variant fetal heart rate patterns are presented with interpretation, diagnosis and comments from experts who have wealthy experience in high risk pregnancy intervention. It will be a valuable reference for physicians, nurses, and midwives who are responsible for initiating, performing, and interpreting EFM.
Preceded by Handbook of fetal heart rate monitoring / Julian T. Parer. 2nd ed. c1997.
This engaging digital product teaches nursing students and novice clinicians the essentials of fetal heart monitoring and interpretation with a visual, interactive learning format. Progressing from simple to complex, it features key foundational information, review questions that reinforce knowledge, numerous interpretation and application exercises, and unfolding case studies whereby learners can apply knowledge at every stage. Following an orientation to basic terminology and foundational clinical information associated with fetal heart monitoring, this didgital product instructs users how to interpret baseline values and uterine activity and provides examples of common deviations and thei...
Monitoring in Anesthesia and Perioperative Care is a practical and comprehensive resource documenting the current art and science of perioperative patient monitoring, addressing the systems-based practice issues that drive the highly regulated health care industry of the early twenty-first century. Initial chapters cover the history, medicolegal implications, validity of measurement and education issues relating to monitoring. The core of the book addresses the many monitoring modalities, with the majority of the chapters organized in a systematic fashion to describe technical concepts, parameters monitored, evidence of utility complications, credentialing and monitoring standards, and practice guidelines. Describing each device, technique and principle of clinical monitoring in an accessible style, Monitoring in Anesthesia and Perioperative Care is full of invaluable advice from the leading experts in the field, making it an essential tool for every anesthesiologist.
The new, 2nd Edition of this convenient handbook provides practical guidance in interpreting electronic fetal heart rate patterns. Completely rewritten with a greater emphasis on the practical management of patients, it enables readers to minimize damage caused by fetal asphyxia, and to manage pregnancies with limited obstetric intervention.
This book is a compact question-based review of the most critical topics an obstetrician will come across in practice. Each chapter includes 10-30 multiple-choice questions designed to test the readers understanding surrounding one obstetric topic. Based on all 45 obstetric based practice bulletins by ACOG, this text is designed to keep practitioners up-to-date with the latest evidence based medicine. Sample topics include: anemia in pregnancy, screening for fetal chromosomal abnormalities, and vaginal birth after previous cesarean delivery. This is an ideal tool for attendings and clerkship directors who frequently test residents and medical students during rounds and in the classroom. This review also proves useful for practicing physicians and physicians-in-training who want to self-evaluate their comprehension and study for board examinations.
This practical manual promotes an evidence-based paradigm of fetal heart rate monitoring during labour, moving away from the traditional 'pattern-based' interpretation to physiology-based interpretation. Aimed at obstetricians and midwives, it is useful to all those involved in multiprofessional intrapartum care.
