New Fetal Monitoring Standards: Relevant to Birth Injury Medical Malpractice Cases
Fetal monitoring is a critical part of any birth injury medical malpractice case. When a baby has been hurt or killed during labor or birth, a review of the fetal monitoring records is critical. Standards change as medicine evolves, of course. You can read the latest research guidelines for electronic fetal monitoring published in the September issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology, at http://www.greenjournal.org/cgi/content/abstract/112/3/661. The updates and revisions to the 1997 consensus guidelines have been adopted by ACOG, AWHONN, RCOG, and SOGC. Note that there are new definitions for assessing contractions and uterine activity. Hospitals should be adopting these revised guidelines You should assume that these revised guidelines will slowly be adopted by hospitals and professional organizations.If you have a possible claim against a doctor, nurse, hospital or other healthcare provider for a medical mistake, error or medical malpractice – anywhere in North Carolina – contact my office for a free consultation.
