Visual CTG patterns • Structured interpretation • Quick recall
What are the Midwifery CTG Flashcards?
The Midwifery CTG Flashcards are a specialist flashcard set designed to support the understanding and interpretation of cardiotocography (CTG) based on UK’s NICE updated 2022 guidelines.
The cards combine:
visual representations of CTG features and patterns
structured summaries of key interpretation principles
clear prompts to support recall and discussion
They are designed to help you move beyond recognition alone and towards structured interpretation and reasoning.
What the flashcards cover
The cards support learning across key CTG concepts, including:
baseline rate and variability
accelerations and decelerations
common CTG patterns
principles of interpretation and classification
structured approaches to describing a trace
They are intended to reinforce the frameworks you are taught in university and in practice.
How students use these flashcards
Students commonly use the CTG flashcards to:
revise CTG features and interpretation in short sessions
practise describing traces in a structured way
prepare for teaching sessions or assessments
reinforce learning after clinical exposure
The format supports repetition and recall, helping you revisit CTG interpretation regularly over time.
Who these flashcards are for
The CTG flashcards are useful for:
student midwives developing confidence in CTG interpretation
students preparing for clinical assessments or teaching sessions
newly qualified midwives who want to revisit and consolidate knowledge
They are most commonly used in second and third year, but can support earlier learning when CTG is first introduced.
Why students choose these flashcards
Focused specifically on CTG interpretation and understanding
Combines visual learning with structured explanation
Supports clear, systematic description of CTG traces
Portable and suitable for regular revision
Designed by a practising UK Midwife
Important note
These flashcards are designed to support your learning alongside local policy, national guidance and clinical supervision. They do not replace formal CTG training or clinical decision-making processes. While examples align to UK NICE guidance, the underlying physiology and interpretation principles are consistent with international maternity practice and WHO-informed care.
