Publisher's Synopsis

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

It has been fully updated but retains the essential features that have contributed to its popularity - an accessible writing style, easy-to-understand explanation of CTGs, and case studies and illustrations to make the content as accessible and practical as possible.

Fetal monitoring is a challenging area that requires skill and experience to practise well. This volume explores the subject matter in a detailed but straightforward manner, thus becoming an invaluable resource for health practitioners as well as midwifery and medical students.
