Stockport NHS FT Intermittent Auscultation
Intelligent Intermittent Auscultation (IIA) of the fetal heart is the recommended method of fetal monitoring for all women who are considered at low risk of fetal hypoxia during labour. It is therefore a fundamental skill of all midwives in any birth setting.
Intelligent intermittent auscultation training is designed to aid midwives to recognise any deterioration or abnormalities in the fetal heart rate, situations requiring escalation and a move to continuous electronic fetal monitoring in a timely manner.
National reports (Each Baby Counts, RCOG, 2015 Full Report; Each Baby Counts RCOG 2018 Progress Report; Saving Babies Lives V2, NHSE 2019) highlight the importance of intermittent auscultation and specifically identify which aspects should be included in training and how this training should be assessed
