Up until a few months ago, we used a doppler and checked the FH
q15 min. Now we use a fetal monitor while transporting Obs patients. All the
Obs transport nurses have taken the AWHONN Fetal Heart Monitoring course as
well as having at least 3 years experience working in high risk
obstetrics.

I would like to find out if any programs that
have generic flight teams routinely use fetal monitors during transport and if
so what training and competency they utilize.
