Intrapartum Care

Fetal Health Surveillance

The provincially approved Fetal Health Surveillance (FHS) – Intrapartum clinical guideline standardizes hospital fetal monitoring during the intrapartum period. This evidence-informed guideline was developed to reinforce best practices for fetal surveillance during labour and birth in Manitoba and ensure both consistent practice across the province.

Modified Early Obstetric Warning Score (MEOWS)

The MEOWS form is a clinical tool used to monitor the physiological parameters of pregnant and postpartum patients. Its primary purpose is to enable early detection of physical deterioration, ensuring timely intervention and management to improve perinatal outcomes.

Prenatal Care

Manitoba’s Prenatal Record has been updated following provincial consultation across multiple disciplines, including obstetrics, midwifery, and nursing and has been reviewed by the Women’s Health PCT. The new form has been developed to ensure consistent practice across the province and to reflect best practice in prenatal care. The updated form is available for immediate use and ready for implementation in your organization as soon as reasonable.
