Workshop Overview

The course is intended for practitioners (nurses, physicians, registered midwives) with clinical experience as part of their regular review of fetal health surveillance knowledge, skills and clinical decision making as well as new obstetrical care pro-viders as an adjunct to their facility orientation program. The course consists of three components, pre-study of the "Fundamentals of Fetal Health Surveillance Online Manual", successful completion of the Online Exam, and participation at an FHS interdisciplinary workshop.

Upon completion of the FHS Workshop, learners will be able to:

  • Describe the Canadian recommendations for fetal health surveillance during labour.
  • Identify the definitions, characteristics, etiology, physiology/pathophysiology of IA, intrapartum EFM and NST* findings.
  • Apply FHS classification and interpretation to IA, intrapartum EFM and NST* findings within the whole clinical picture for decision making.
  • Describe the appropriate clinical management/response for prevention and/or correction of abnormal IA, atypical/abnormal intrapartum EFM and NST* findings.
  • Describe antenatal surveillance techniques including fetal movement counting, NST, and biophysical profile*.
  • Discuss teamwork, communication, and documentation as it relates to fetal health surveillance and perinatal outcomes. (*Antenatal FHS discussed in the Fundamentals of FHS workshop)
