Just as important is what isn't in this course
This is not a course about how to interpret or act on a CTG recording, or when to offer CTG monitoring.
Before we learn HOW and WHEN to do CTG monitoring, it is important to first ask WHETHER we should use CTG monitoring. This course explores who benefits and who doesn't from CTG use in labour.
