Good to hear from you Carol.
You're asking for efficacy of the monitor? It just means there doesn't
have to be a midwife in the room with the woman, doesn't it?
I saw the central monitor bank system in use in Michigan in about 95. Went
back to visit the hospital where 3 of mine had been born (and where the
birth activist was born, I think). The OB nurse told me that if a baby was
about to be born, and the doctor was not present, no nurse would stay in
the room with a woman - they couldn't take that sort of responsibility. I
feel great sadness at that thought. We mustn't let that happen here.

Hi all
Yes I am still around, just ever so quiet! Does anyone have any info or
know where I can get it or does anyone have experience with centralised EFM
in 'delivery' suites? I need to know about the sorts of EFM where there is
a console in the office or somewhere to which all the fetal monitors are
linked up. Apparently the monitor 'reads' the EFM and the screen goes red
if
the trace goes off. The mid students and I have done literature searches
and
can't find anything about its efficacy. Help, please.
