Re: Hospital trials birth monitor:Courier Mail news report (QLD)
Royal Women's in Brisbane has been conducting the pre-trial for a few years now. As I understand it, as a result of findings so far, it has been decided to do a much larger study. Laurelle At 07:28 27/06/02 +1000, you wrote: Hi, This is a story to today's courier mail. Thought you might be interested in it.. I haven't heard anything else about these trials. If someone has more information could you please let us know. Thanks Sally Joyce Hospital trials birth monitor By Siobhain Ryan 27jun02 BABIES will soon have to make room in the womb for oxygen monitors as part of a world-first trial of the devices in Queensland. The probes, which measure oxygen levels in a fetus's bloodstream, will be tested during labour to help reduce the number of emergency caesarean births. Chief research investigator Professor Paul Colditz said about 600 women were being recruited in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne to take part in the study. He said that, at present, oxygen monitoring only occurred after birth, in intensive care. Before or during delivery, the main way of checking for fetal distress was by monitoring the heart rate. But Professor Colditz, director of the perinatal research centre at Royal Women's Hospital, said heart rates were often poor measures of oxygen available to the baby ? that could lead to unnecessary caesareans. He said the study, which follows small-scale tests of similar devices at the hospital, was the world's first controlled trial of the probe. The technology is being marketed around the world but because people are waiting to see if it's really effective or not, it's waiting on our trial, Professor Colditz said. With stillborn births now outnumbering deaths from sudden infant death syndrome, his centre ? with the SIDS and Kids Association ? hopes to boost its research efforts into peri-natal health. The SIDS fundraiser ? Red Nose Day ? is tomorrow.

Re: Hospital trials birth monitor:Courier Mail news report (QLD)
With stillborn births now outnumbering deaths from sudden infant death syndrome, his centre with the SIDS and Kids Association hopes to boost its research efforts into peri-natal health. Anyone want to hazzard a guess why this is? I thought that all the new technology and monitoring was supposed to DECREASE the number on stillbirths. MM

A Current Affair/ controlled crying
Hi everyone I am on A Current affair tomorrow night(friday) in an interview about controlled crying. I didnt realise they were also going to interview the "experts" who have just made the link between cc and preventing postnatal depression until the interview, so who knows how it will be "cut". I didnt see the promos but a neighbour said "all these babies were bawling and the mum s were saying we hate doing this" must be in a sleep clinic - apparently I am the woman with the controversial new book. 100 Ways to calm the Crying will be released next week -anyone in Melbourne -please come to the launch at Borders books 11am Friday 5th July -morning tea --onwards. It will be a babyfriendly/ childfriendly event. Pinky

slogan
I realize that the way this is worded would not be catchy enough for a slogan- by the way all of the ideas are fantastic. But I was reading some work by Karl Marx yesterday and there was this quote Man knows no more degrading or unbearable misery than forced labour Actually it is by Friedrich Engels- Marx's partner in crime. But it just hit me that Women know no more degrading or unbearable misery than forced labour. I dont know if it could work at all- but I just thought I would share it with all of you.
