PeriGen CNO Rebecca Cypher Discusses Fetal Heart Rate Interpretation at AWHONN 2014
PeriGen demos PeriCALM fetal surveillance solution at booth #601
WORKSHOP: Rebecca Cypher, MSN, PNNP, PeriGen’s Chief Nursing Officer (CNO), along with Lori Irwin, R.N., MSN, CNS, Perinatal Clinical Nurse Specialist, will co-present a pre-convention workshop at the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) Annual Convention 2014 in Orlando, Florida. Titled “Fetal Morse Code: Translating Fetal Monitoring Language for Daily Practice,” the all-day workshop from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT takes place on Saturday, June 14, at the Disney Coronado Springs Resort.
Obstetric nurses are often challenged by the perplexing world of fetal heart rate (FHR) baseline rates, rhythms, periodic and non-periodic changes in addition to baffling uterine activity patterns during the phases of labor. Cypher and Irwin will review principles of FHR interpretation and management using a standardized approach that is evidence based and reflects consensus in OB literature, analyze patterns and uterine activity via case studies emphasizing tenets of fetal heart monitoring and relevant childbirth care, and discuss optimal strategies for managing FHR tracings.
DEMO: PeriGen will demo its PeriCALM® patented, clinical decision support-based fetal surveillance solution at booth #601 June 15-18 at the Disney Coronado Springs Resort.
