Josh Steinberg has just released a new app for the iPhone/iPod Touch called EFM Glossary.
Description
EFM Glossary is a simple app which puts at your fingertips the basics of electronic fetal monitoring terms and definitions. It is based upon the guideline from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists on the topic from September 2008, supplemented with the systematic evaluation scheme from the American Academy of Family Physicians’ ALSO course. The guideline refined many definitions, disposed of some old terms, and introduced three categories of overall tracing impressions.
This app is written and intended for resident physician trainees, for medical students, and for practicing physicians.
It answers questions such as the following
- what is moderate baseline fetal heart rate variability?
- what’s the difference between an early, variable, and late deceleration?
- if my patient is 31 weeks gestation, what counts as an acceleration?
- what qualifies as category I, II, and III tracings, and what does each suggest clinically?
- what are the elements of systematic EFM tracing evaluation?

Like PreOpEval , I hope to create a webOS port in time.
