Re: [ozmidwifery] Telemetric?

Fri, 11 Feb 2005 22:09:56 -0800

Á telemetric CTG is a cordless CTG.  Mt Isa (Qld) had one (in 2000) and used it.  More recently when I worked in Hobart in a private hospital, they had one.  If you really have to have a CTG on, then these are way ahead of the tradition CTG.  It allows the women to be mobile and the one in Hobart was water proof as well so they were able to use the shower and bath with it on.  It had excellent reception - the birth suites were on the 3rd floor of the hospital and the CTG could still be picked up on the ground floor. I think they're actually safer in that you don't have cords there for the woman or others to trip up in.
