Q

Amniocentesis

results

A
  • high bilirubin= hemolytic disease

no sufficient FHR in 40 min

25
Q

nonreactive NST should be followed up w…

A

ultrasound or BPP

-give juice, reposition, VAS

30
Q

contraction stress test CST

A

fka oxytocin challenge test

  • assess ability to maintain FHR in response to UC in women w nonreactive NST at term
  • screens risk during delivery
31
Q

CST procedure

A
  • monitor FHR for 20 min

- if no spontaneous UC, then stim nipples for 10 mins (to produce oxytocin) or admin IV oxytocin

no significant var.decel or no late.decel in 10 min strip w 3 UC

33
Q

positive results in CST

A

late decel w half of UC

34
Q

pos result in CST is linked w…

A

35
Q

admin of oxytocin during CST places mom at risk for..

A

tachysystole

-more than 5 UC in 10 min

36
Q

AFI

A

screening to measure volume of amniotic fluid

-based on fetal urine production

37
