Discovering fetal ECG response to hypoxia
A second pair of eyes
Knowledge is your most powerful resource for ensuring safe births, and understanding the fetus’s response to the stress of labor and delivery gives you the confidence to act when it matters most. Our goal is to empower you as a clinician by providing you with the knowledge (and, ultimately, the confidence) to make the right decision even in the most challenging situations. Consider the STAN methodology as a second pair of eyes; as a friend to give you a gentle reminder when it’s not too early and not too late – when it’s just the right time to deliver.
Labor ward heads
As head of a labor ward, you’re constantly under scrutiny. We understand the importance of mitigating the risk of metabolic acidosis while keeping interventions (and costs) to a minimum. And that’s where we can help. Implementation of the STAN methodology can lead to fewer interventions and better clinical results.
Obstetricians and midwives
Every birth should be a safe and positive experience. Achieving that on a day-to-day basis is largely up to you as the obstetrician or midwife. That’s a huge responsibility, and a strong argument for making sure you have the best tools at your disposal. We are here to empower you by offering a complete solution: everything from innovative fetal and maternal monitors to masterclass courses, e-learning, and onsite training.
