where i work we have at least 8 CTG machines
of which 3 are telemetry. obviously the 3 are used for those women who
want to be mobile in labour and avoid epidurals etc.

Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] telemetry ctg
machine?
you can use the cordless telemetry monitors in the
shower as they are waterproof allowing more mobility for your labouring women
and also continually monitoring at risk babies and women. but there is also
another one that you can plug in your usual leads to a portable (like a
handbag) monitor but this cannot be used in the shower. It depends on
what money you can access as well as your clients preferences if at
risk. They range in price from $12 000 - $22000 in Australia and that is
if you have the right machine to connect it to start with. Food for
thought: this may lead the way for all women in a hospital setting to be tied
to a monitor even when in normal labour and birth??? but it does give
women the mobility and shower/bath use that we cannot offer when on regular
monitors . Hope this is what you were needing

Hi wise midwives,
Do any of you know any compelling reasons or research on the advantages or
disadvantages of using telemetry ctg machines as apposed to the usual ones?
I'm trying to get my head around whether they are a good or bad thing to have
in a practice setting and how having one avaliable for use changes how
midwives care for women in labour.
Thank you, Julie:)
