This article looks at the importance of understanding the Cardiotocography as this knowledge can help with joint decision-making, provide an additional set of eyes observing for foetal distress, and be an aid for choosing an anaesthetic technique.
Cardiotocography (CTG) to monitor foetal heart rate is frequently used on the labour ward to monitor for foetal distress. Interpretation of CTG is routinely undertaken by the obstetric and midwifery teams to guide labour interventions, along with the mode and urgency of delivery. Anaesthetists are a key member of the multidisciplinary team, and we should therefore understand CTG. This knowledge can then help with joint decision-making, provide an additional set of eyes observing for foetal distress, and be an aid for choosing an anaesthetic technique.
Current training
The 2021 curriculum mentions CTG knowledge in both Stage 1 and in the Obstetric Anaesthesia Specialist Interest area.1 However, there is a lack of clarity on how to obtain it. Despite there being excellent resources available for anaesthetists to learn about CTG interpretation, it is not formally taught or assessed.2 It is left to the individual anaesthetist in training to obtain this knowledge, creating a lack of consistency in knowledge among anaesthetists.
