Q

How is FSE placed? Risks? When is the only time it can be placed?

Q

(EKG Strips) The more wiggly the line on the heart rate monitor= more variability which means

Q

(EKG Strips) Types of variability in FHRM (like a stop light) Absent variability=

A

Not jiggly- not good, baby is not responding and is at risk for major complications and death. Baby needs to come out immediately.

Q

(EKG) Minimal variability (FHR) =

Q

(EKG) Marked variability =

A

Jagged jiggles in the lines= stressed out baby. But generally is seen as baby is being pushed out so that is okay.

Q

(EKG,) Accelerations=

A

Temporary increases in fetal heart rate- great oxygenation - happy little mountains.. baby gets As for acceleration

17
Q

(EKG) Early Declaration =
Indication-

A

Shallow bowl-shaped dips that mirror mother’s contractions.
Indicates head compression.
(It’s good to be EARLY with EARLY decels)

18
Q

(EKG) Variable decels-

A

Very concerning (look for very deep sharp V shaped dips on heart rate monitor lines)
