Description of CME Course

Fetal heart rate (FHR) decelerations expose providers/hospitals to malpractice risk. When decelerations become severe, failure to identify and intervene is a common malpractice allegation. Understanding the effects of deceleration depth, duration, and/or frequency on fetal acid-base balance is required if EFM is to be administered safely. Part 3 of this 3-part series discusses the use of FHR Deceleration Severity Scales.
