    L’interprétation du Rythme Cardiaque Fœtal (RCF) dépend de l’âge gestationnel et du contexte obstétrical et maternel. La période du travail est la période la plus à risque de complications fœtales. Dans tous les cas, l’enregistrement du RCF doit être de bonne qualité, son interprétation rigoureuse, la plus consensuelle possible, et régulière. Cet examen est obligatoire pour tous les accouchements et concerne donc 700 000 accouchements par an en France.Cet ouvrage est un manuel d’apprentissage de lecture et d’interprétation du rythme cardiaque fœtal. Les bases théoriques sont expliquées de façon concise en première partie, l’étude de ces cliniques étant ensuite au cœur de l’ouvrage. Chaque cas est présenté comme une fiche de travail avec des questions précises ; le lecteur doit alors analyser un cas clinique et un tracé RCF correspondant.Pour cette 2e édition, le contenu est mis à jour avec la bibliographie récente. La partie dédiée à la physiologie foetale est refondue. Les commentaires des cas cliniques sont largement étoffés.Destiné aux sages-femmes et aux gynécologues-obstétr... ce guide pratique permet de progresser dans la surveillance foetale en cours de travail en proposant une analyse à la fois du contexte et du RCF.
