The workbook approach remains, with many new and updated case histories and CTGs, all using current terminology and a recommended proforma for interpretation.

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.

The idea for this text, which adopts a case-study approach to aid the interpretation of cardiotachographs, arose in 1986 as a result of a course for midwives entitled Teaching and Assessing in Clinical Practice.

Cardiotography (CTG) is a form of electronic fetal monitoring used commonly when a woman delivers her baby in hospital, and is vitally important as a record of fetal well-being. This book offers a thorough introduction to CTG.

The third edition of Practical Cardiotocography has been thoroughly revised to provide clinicians with the latest developments in the technique and interpretation of CTG.

The book aims to be a useful practical guide to the interpretation of the cardiotocograph and to be an invaluable asset to all whose profession is the care of women in labour.

The latest edition of this popular book is essential reading for all midwives and doctors working in the labour ward.
