ACOG Refines Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring Guidelines
Refinements of the definitions, classifications, and interpretations of fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring methods were issued today in new guidelines released by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). The objective of the guidelines is to reduce the inconsistent use of common terminology and the wide variability that sometimes occurs in FHR interpretations. ACOG"s Practice Bulletin, published in the July 2009 issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology, supports the recommendations of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child and Health Development workshop* on electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) held in April 2008.

Optical Bodies Warn, "Don't Cut Corners On Contact Lens Care During Recession"

The British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) and the General Optical Council (GOC) are today urging Britain"s 3.5 million contact lens wearers not to endanger their eye health and comfort during the recession through risky contact lens practices. The warning follows a YouGov poll that reveals nearly one in four contact lens wearers would consider switching their contact lens brand to save money, and more than one in ten wearers would consider having less frequent check-ups. One in five would consider wearing the lenses for longer than recommended, such as using monthly lenses for more than a month, to cut costs. Although, by law, contact lenses can only be supplied following a fitting by a registered eyecare or medical practitioner, recent reports suggest that some contact lens wearers are switching to cheaper lenses without having the new lenses fitted. When lenses are not properly fitted wearers may experience a range of side-effects, from minor discomfort and blurred vision to more serious adverse reactions such as red, inflamed eyes. Professor Roger Buckley, clinical adviser to the GOC, commented: "In the current economic climate, it"s understandable that contact lens wearers are looking to save money. But without a proper fitting, patients could be putting their eye health and comfort at risk. It"s essential that patients follow the advice of their eyecare practitioner when it comes to contact lens care." A contact lens fitting should include an eye examination to make sure your eyes are healthy, and measurements of your eyes to ensure the best lens type, fit and vision. Your practitioner should also advise you when you should wear the lenses, how to look after them and how often they should be replaced. Contact lens wearers should not change their prescribed lens type, wearing schedule, replacement frequency, solutions or care procedures without the recommendation of their eyecare practitioner. Other examples of high-risk contact lens practices include: - Wearing a damaged or torn lens instead of replacing it. - Cutting down on lens cleaning to save on solutions costs. - Switching to solutions that may not be compatible with the eye or lens - Sleeping in lenses not suitable for overnight wear to avoid buying solutions.
