Details

Dr Kirsten Small (she/her) is a retired specialist obstetrician and gynaecologist. She is an educator, researcher, author, and the person behind the Birth Small Talk blog. Her mission in life is to cut through myths and misinformation about fetal monitoring practices so women can confidently choose an approach that works best for them. Kirsten is a neurospicy introverted feminist who lives on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia. When she’s not busy overthrowing the patriarchy she’s usually grandparenting, gardening, or crafting.

CTG monitoring is a core skill set for midwifery practice, with much time and effort dedicated to developing and maintaining interpretation skills. Dr Kirsten Small will take us back to the basics in this presentation, exploring the evidence base for different fetal monitoring options.

In which situations is there:
clear evidence of benefit from CTG use?
evidence of no benefit from CTG use?
evidence of harm from CTG use?

She will remind us of the importance of providing accurate information to women and birthing people as they make decisions about fetal monitoring options for their own labour.
