Misuse of Fetal Scalp Stimulation
Podcast: Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical PearlsPublished On: Sat Jul 23 2022
Description: One of the most common techniques to assess fetal status intrapartum is the fetal scalp stimulation test. First proposed in 1936, its incorporation in modern obstetric practice is still evident. However, there are some common misapplications and misunderstandings of this intervention. Does fetal scalp stimulation help resolve a fetal deceleration? Or could it be potentially harmful? In this podcast we will set the record straight to prevent misuse of the fetal scalp stimulation test. Thank you Abby for the podcast topic and bringing this to my attention.
