Labor Progress Monitoring - CALM Curve
CALM Curve is a dynamic labor curve that compares a laboring mother’s progress in real-time to a reference population, aiding in the diagnosis of dystocia.
Key Features
- Graphically compares a patient’s progress to a reference population.
- Displays the mean and outer limits of the reference population and the patient’s percentile ranking.
- Dynamically adjusts for changing conditions unique to each mother, such as contraction frequency, epidural use and cervical effacement.
- Configurable to allow limits to be set differently for special groups of women, such as those undergoing a trial of labor after a previous cesarean section.
- Allows you to define the patient population for comparison.
- Allows you to monitor up to 25 labor progress curves in one screen, and up to 100 beds in total.
- As an option, provides a graphical representation of the beginning, peak and end of contractions.
Key Benefits
- Provides real-time labor guidance by objectively assessing labor progress, using proprietary mathematical algorithms.
- Provides a standardized method of measuring labor progress that reduces subjectivity and uncertainty associated with traditional methods.
- Improves communication among clinical staff by providing a common language for conveying patient evaluations.
- Improves communication with patient by providing a simple visual aid when discussing progress or non-progress of labor and necessary intervention.
- Enables you to see the effect of intervention on the patient.
- Helps in the support and development of hospital guidelines and policy by providing concise and objective data.
- Facilitates medical risk assessment by aiding in the definition of the normal limits of safe labor.
