Over recent decades, advances in prenatal diagnosis have made it possible to accurately identify fetal and placental conditions, define risk profiles, and determine the optimal timing for completing the pregnancy. However, in most labour wards, fetal care continues to follow uniform protocols, regardless of physiological status or clinical history.
Over three days, Barcelona will bring together leading international experts in maternal–fetal medicine, cardiotocography (CTG) interpretation, midwifery, neonatology and anaesthesiology to debate, share knowledge and shape a care model that is more precise, more humane and safer.
The scientific programme will be organised into thematic areas. Each module will include:
- An initial pathophysiological review led by prenatal diagnosis specialists
- An update on the physiological interpretation of the cardiotocography (CTG) trace and its clinical correlation
- A consensus panel focused on establishing evidence-based management criteria
Why you should attend?
- Because it is the first international congress focused on the physiological management of labour, with physiopathology-based interpretation of cardiotocography (CTG) traces as its central theme.
- Because this congress proposes a genuine shift: it is conceived as a consensus forum designed to develop clinical recommendations and management protocols that support truly individualised intrapartum care.
- Because you will learn from leading international experts, engage in discussion with them, and even present your own clinical cases (in a session unlike anything previously seen at a congress).
- Because you will have access to high-level, hands-on training that can be applied in your clinical setting from day one.
- Because you will share the experience with more than 600 professionals from around the world, building networks and professional partnerships.
