The following describes which fetal HR tracing category?
- Baseline FHR: 110-160 beats/min
- Variability: moderate
- Late or variable decelerations: absent
- Early decelerations: may be present or absent
- Accelerations either present or absent - correct answer Category I
--> DESIRED CATEGORY - baby is healthy, labor is going well, we can continue going towards a vaginal
delivery for the pt.
What is the desired fetal HR tracing category? - correct answer Category I
List the components (5)
This category means: Baby is healthy, labor is going well, we can continue going towards a vaginal
delivery for the pt.
List the components (5) of the Category I FHR tracing - correct answer - FHR 110 - 160pm
- MODERATE variability
- ABSENT late or variable decelerations
- Early decelerations may be present or absent
- Accelerations may be present or absent
The following describes which fetal HR tracing category?
, - Non-reassuring FHR patterns associated with fetal hypoxemia
- Hypoxemia can deteriorate to severe fetal hypoxia
- Variability: ABSENT
- Decelerations: Recurrent or late
- Bradycardia
- Sinusoidal pattern - correct answer Category III
NEED TO INTERVENE - EMERGENCY!!
List the components (6) of the Category III FHR tracing - correct answer - Non-reassuring FHR patterns
associated with fetal hypoxemia
- Hypoxemia can deteriorate to severe fetal hypoxia
- Variability: ABSENT
- Decelerations: Recurrent or late
- Bradycardia
- Sinusoidal pattern
- NEED TO INTERVENE - OPEN OR - GET BABY OUT NOW!
What are the two types of *external* monitoring? - correct answer for FHR = *ultrasound transducer*
(placed in the lower portion of mom's abdomen)
for contractions = *tocotransducer* (place by fundus)
ONLY measures: FREQUENCY + DURATION of contractions - correct answer tocotransducer (external
monitor)
*Strength is NOT measured w/ a tocotransducer
