in fetus 32 weeks or more, the accelerations peak ____ bpm and
15, 15
last for ______________________________________ seconds
from onset o return to baseline
if fetus less than 32 weeks, the accelerations peak ____
10, 10
bpm and last for ___ seconds from onset to return to
baseline
prolonged acceleration accelerations greater than 2 minutes but less than 10 minutes in
duration
gradual greater than 30 early decel definition
seconds from onset to
nadir, nadir simultaneous
with peak of contraction
gradual greater than 30 late decel definition
seconds from onset to nadir
, nadir after peak of
contraction
abrupt onset less than 30 variable decel definition
seconds from onset to
beginning of nadir, lasting
more than 15 seconds but
less than 2 minutes, depth
more than 15 bpm
decrease greater than 15 bpm prolonged decel definition
lasting more than 2 minutes

oxygenated and transfer to the fetus with acidemia.
which acid base imbalance
no can exaggerate response should you perform scalp stimulation during a decel
baseline 110-160, moderate what does category 1 tracing need
variability, no late or
variable decels
category tracing, indeterminate, not predictive of abnormal fetal
2
aid-base status,
require evaluation , surveillance
what category tracing?
-bradycardia without absent variability
-tachycardia
2 -minimal baseline variability
-absence of induced acceleration after fetal stimulation
-prolonged decels
-recurrent late decels with moderate variability
absent baseline variability category 3 tracings include either
and recurrent late decels,
recurrent variable decels,
bradycardia, OR sinusoidal
3 what tracing requires prompt evaluation and expeditious
resolution
position change, what can you do for category 3 tracing
discontinue tocolytics, IV
fluids, oxygen
how far apart the contractions are from beginning of
frequency
one to beginning of the other in minutes
duration how long the contraction lasts in seconds
intensity contractions -mild, moderate, or strong- palpation or internal
monitor
resting tone soft or hard, palpation or internal monitor
normal uterine activity- less than or equal to____ contractions in
5, 10, 30
________________________________________ minutes averaged
over a minute window
tachysystole - greater than ____ contractions in ____
5, 10, 30
