Welcome and introduction to the course

08:10 - 09:15

Understanding fetal compensatory responses to the intrauterine hypoxic environment and the role of cardiotocography (CTG) in the recognition of gradually evolving intrapartum fetal hypoxic stress.

09:15 - 10:15

Recognition of features of fetal compensation from decompensation based on the application of knowledge of fetal pathophysiology

10:15 - 11:15

Recognition & Management of features of chronic hypoxia and preexisting fetal compromise.

11:15 - 11.30

Discussion

11:30 - 11:50

Coffee Break

11:50 - 12:30

Recognition and management of acute fetal hypoxic stress: (umbilical cord prolapse, uterine rupture, placental abruption, and acute and profound maternal hypotension).

12:30 - 13:00

Recognition and management of subacute hypoxic stress and pitfalls in CTG interpretation during the second stage of labour.

13:00 - 13:10

A snapshot of Updated International Consensus Guidelines on Physiological Interpretation of CTG (October 2024).
