Yes EFMs are shown to cause c-secs and not protect even vulnerable babies against brain damage - the purported reason for using them in the first place! The solution is not to train staff more in using them because that is based on an entirely false premise but that's what RANZCOG promotes - see their website. The solution is to dump the technology because it not only fails to improve outcomes but has a deleterious effect on them. More machines does not equal more safety for women or babies, it means more lifethreatening and unnecessary surgery.

If we are talking about policies written with evidence based care in mind, surely the policy should reflect evidence based care.
