Some of the best known and respected educators in the field have contributed to this unique video set, designed to improve staff and student competence in fetal assessment. Aimed at the experienced interpreter of electronic fetal monitoring, the program is unique in its comprehensive approach. It's the first educational tool to promote individualized patient interventions, based on both fetal heart rate response and maternal/fetal condition. Concepts of maternal, placental, and fetal physiology are integrated with technical procedures, and the underlying concept of oxygen transport is discussed, helping viewers to understand the journey of oxygen between mother and fetus. The editors present the material using case studies, focusing attention on the nurse's role in adjusting assessments, care, and evaluation based on specific case information rather than 'historically prescribed protocols'.
