When you have completed this course you will be able to:

  • describe the physiology that may predispose to IUFD
  • know the causes of IUFD
  • assess the risk of maternal complications
  • arrange and discuss appropriate investigations
  • confidently devise a care plan for women who experience an IUFD
  • manage the emotional wellbeing of the woman.
