Q

What lies vertical on the monitor paper?

A

Rate

21
Q

What lies horizontal on the monitor paper?

A

Duration

22
Q

What is the average FHR on the monitoring paper?

A

Baseline

23
Q

How long is a FHR monitored until the baseline is determined?

A

At least 10 minutes

24
Q

What is a normal FHR?

A

110-160

25
Q

How do we round the baseline FHR?

A

To the nearest 5

26
Q

Interplay between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system

A

Baseline variability

27
Q

This is the most predictable indicator of fetal oxygenation

A

Baseline variability

28
Q

What are the 4 baseline variability indicators?

A

Absent
Minimal
Moderate (happy baby)
Marked

29
Q

What is considered bradycardia ?

A

< 110 bpm

30
Q

What is considered severe bradycardia?

A

< 80 bpm

31
Q

What is considered tachycardia?

A

> 160 bpm

32
Q

What is considered severe tachycardia?

A

> 180 bpm

33
Q

These are temporary increases in FHR above baseline rate and they must increase in 15 seconds and last at least 15 seconds; this is normal

A

Accelerations

34
Q

This is a decrease in FHR and occurs with blood supply changes.

A

Decelerations

35
Q

These Decelerations occur due to compression of the head and mirror a contraction

A

Early Decelerations

36
Q

These Decelerations are caused by compression of the umbilical cord and they quickly drop and quickly recover. They can happen regardless of any contractions or take any shape.

A

Variable Decelerations

37
Q

These Decelerations occur due to a UPI (utero placental insufficiency). The are ominous and should be monitored by an internal monitor.

A

Late Decelerations

38
Q

The highest point

A

Peak

39
Q

The lowest point

A

Nadir

40
Q

This is a condition of danger for the fetus

A

Fetal distress

41
Q

The baseline FHR may show what, during fetal distress?

A

Increase or decrease

42
Q

The changes on the monitor during fetal distress will show what?

A

Late and variable Decelerations

43
Q

What does POPI stand for?

A

Position change (remove fetal weight)
Oxygen (10 L non-rebreather mask)
Pitocin (stop pit)
IV bolus (increase circulating blood volume at 999ml)

44
Q

What is POPI used for?

A

Intrauterine resuscitation

45
Q

What is VEAL CHOP?

A

Variable early Acceleration late

Cord Head okay Placenta
