Intelligent Intermittent Auscultation

A natural progression following decades of experience monitoring mother and child.

Huntleigh are delighted to release our new Intelligent Intermittent Auscultation video featuring Professor Sir Arulkumuran. In this film Professor Sir Arulkumuran shares his thoughts about the benefits of graphical display Dopplers and how they can help improve the quality of maternity care around the world. Arguably the most influential & widely known name in the obstetric world today, Professor Sir Arulkumauran having been, amongst many other things, past president of FIGO, past president of the UK’s Royal College of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and the BMA.

With input from other maternity professionals hear about the benefits of graphical display Dopplers providing a new enhanced approach to intermittent auscultation of the fetus during pregnancy. Traditional methods of intermittent auscultation rely on the clinician listening to baby’s heart sounds using either a Pinard type stethoscope or a handheld Doppler. A difficult thing to do and it provides limited information and is prone to error. New technology now makes it possible to not only hear the baby’s heart sounds but to “see what you’re hearing” in the form of a real time trace view using the latest graphical display Dopplers.
