    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to carry out a further vaginal examination after an hour before deciding how to proceed with delivery

    Wider context from the report

    “5. Dr ████████ gave evidence that his arranging to take Kobi’s mother to theatre and prepare for delivery, and then carrying out a further vaginal examination at that time, would stand in for a later examination to see how matters were progressing. This was not regarded as good practice by the expert on the basis, it would be better to carry out a further examination after an hour, and then decide how to proceed with the delivery. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Rotation of the baby’s head alone during obstructed delivery

    Wider context from the report

    “7. Dr ████████ proceeded with a forceps delivery of the baby’s head. The body did not follow and the cervix “retracted” (which Dr ████████ had not encountered before. Nor had Mr ████████ the expert witness). Dr ████████ cut the cervix and rotated the head and tried unsuccessfully to deliver the shoulders through the incision. Mr ████████ expert said in evidence the baby’s head on its own should never be rotated due to the damage this can cause. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to appropriately interpret CTG readings and the full clinical picture before proceeding to delivery

    Wider context from the report

    “4. Further ████████ second statement 21.4.2020, refers to some consideration being given to variable decelerations and variabilities contained in the CTG trace when making his decision to proceed to delivery at that time. It was accepted by Dr ████████ Ms ████████ consultant and Mr ████████ expert, that the CTG readings were within normal range and would not be a reason to proceed to delivery at that time. Their evidence was it would be appropriate in light of the full clinical picture and the CTG readings to “wait and see” how matters progressed. ”
