Has everything you could possibly be looking for.
I like it because it's easy to carry in your pocket, for quick reference.
Has all the updates.
Lettering could be a little bigger.

We used this book as a textbook for my midwifery college. The information within the book is easy to understand and well written. Some points in the book are somewhat vague, so I do recommend combining this book with other sources (such as Dr. David Miller's webcast on FHR, or other books or videos). Overall though it is an excellent resource!

This is an excellent, compact book with everything you need to know about fetal monitoring. Fantastic pathways, clinical guidelines, and examples of EFM strips. Wording is clearly defined, and is the most up to date according to NICHD guidelines. This handy little book is small enough to keep in your pocket while working in the hospital unit. Great for nurses, students, midwives, and physicians!
