What are normal accelerations
2.15.15.20
TWO movements fetal HR >15 bpm lasting 15 secs over 20 minutes
What are early decelerations indicative of and what are they
Head compression
Decrease in HR occurring w/ CTX
What are variable decelerations indicative of and what are they
Cord compression
Decrease in HR and return to baseline
No relationship w CTX
What are late decelerations indicative of and what are they
Fetal hypoxia
Decrease in HR AFTER CTX started
No return to baseline until CTX end
How to remember decelerations?
VEAL CHOP Variable Early Accelerations Late Dec
Cord compression/cord prolapse, oligohydramnios
Head compression
OK
Placental insufficiency
