Thanks for the info - I suppose I was suspicious as the information I read seemed to indicate that a medical indemnity insurance company was pushing the up skilling idea.  But if it can decrease the number of false positive diagnosis of foetal distress and hence emergency caesarians through improved use of ctgs then great!   Helen Cahill ----- Original Message ----- From: Dean & Jo To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 9:05 AM Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] Intrapartum Foetal Surveillance Education PrograminVictoria A unit in the UK reduced their cs rate astronomically by implementing some strategies: one being continuous up skilling of CTG readout interpretations.  Perhaps the increase in cs is related to misinterpretations and this might help perhaps???   Jo   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graham and Helen Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 3:27 AM To: ozmidwifery Subject: [ozmidwifery] Intrapartum Foetal Surveillance Education Program inVictoria   Can anyone tell me what the crux of this program is???   http://www.ranzcog.edu.au/ifse_program/index.shtml   It seems to be about obstetricians educating midwives on CTG interpretation - I can envisage seeing a lot more caesars for "foetal distress" as a result, with babies apgars of 9 and 10 as the outcome......   Helen Cahill Feeling cynical __________ NOD32 1.1016 (20050301) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.nod32.com -- No virus found in this incoming message.
