IV
oxygen

what to do if fetal HR is high (over 160)
document acceleration
take mother temp

Lie on left side
IV
oxygen
notify HCP
what acronym to call for bad fetal monitor tracing
P LION
what to do if there is high baseline varibility
document finding
is high baseline variability good
yes
are accelerations good or bad
good
what causes variable decelerations (VEAL CHOP)
cord compression/prolapse
what causes early delerations (VEAL CHOP)
head compression
accelerations are? (VEAL CHOP)
okay
what causes late decelerations (VEAL CHOP)
placental insufficiency
if baby has variable decelerations
push baby head of cord and put preg pt in knee chest (finger pt in back shot postion)
what to do if baby has early deceleration
nothing just document
if the fetal HR tracing starts with L it is
bad and u should do lion
if the fetal HR has variable deceleration it is
very bad
variable deceleration equals
very bad
