PCEO Region II Course Overview
AWHONN 1-Day Workshop:
Advanced Fetal Heart Monitoring Course
Description
The Advanced Fetal Heart Monitoring Course is a one-day workshop focusing on the application of advanced fetal heart monitoring knowledge and skills in intrapartum nursing practice. It is designed by AWHONN for registered nurses who have successfully completed the AWHONN Intermediate Fetal Heart Monitoring (formerly called FHMPP) two-day workshop, and builds on the essential knowledge and skills gained through the FHMPP two-day workshop.
Course Objectives
- Identify basic physiologic principles underlying fetal heart monitoring.
- Describe advanced concepts in antenatal testing, including analysis and interpretation of biophysical profiles and complex antenatal fetal heart monitoring tracings.
- Identify physiologic principles, goals and interventions for patients undergoing antenatal testing.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for patients undergoing antenatal testing.
- Compare and contrast physiologic principles and causes of adult cardiac dysrhythmias with fetal cardiac dysrhythmias.
- Analyze complex fetal heart monitoring patterns—including uterine rupture, maternal-fetal hemorrhage and abruption—utilizing NICHD FHM nomenclature and definitions.
- Apply perinatal risk management principles, communication techniques, and documentation strategies related to complex and challenging patient care scenarios.
Successful completion of a written examination is required for completing the workshop and earning continuing education credit. Participants should review the AWHONN Fetal Heart Monitoring Principles & Practices, 4th edition, NICHD nomenclature, and their FHMPP workshop outline/notes in preparation for the workshop.
