Q

NST

A

21
Q

-identifies whether an increase in FHR occurs when the fetus moves, indicating adequate oxygenation, a healthy neural
pathway from the fetal CNS to the fetal heart and the ability of the
heart to respond to stimuli
-fetus isnt stressed by stimulated uterine contractions

A

NST

non stress test

32
Q

IUPC

A

intrauterine pressure catheter

33
Q
  • used to measure uterine activity, including contraction intensity and resting tone
    (1) solid catheter w/ a pressure transducer in its tip. this catheter usually has an additional lumen for amnioinfusion of sterile solution into the uterus
    (2) a hollow, fluid filled catheter that connects to a pressure transducer on the bedside monitor unit
  • both types sense intrauterine pressure and increases in intra-abdominal pressure

37
Q
  • women who have had a vaginal birth before or since the prior cesarean birth are more likely to have a successful VBAC
  • suggestions
    • no more than 2 previous low transverse uterine incisions
    • no other uterine scars or a previous uterine rupture
    • a pelvis that is clinically adequate for the estimated fetal size
