45
Q

early decels

A

head compression - identify labor progress

46
Q

late decels

A

utero-placental insufficiency - execute intervention

47
Q

variable decels

A

cord compression - change position

48
Q

prolonged decels

A

fetal hypoxia/injury - position, fluids, 10L o2 if ordered, tocolytics

49
Q

sinusoidal

A

severe fetal anemia

50
Q

category I

A

110-160
- accelerations moderate
- NO late/variable decelerations

51
Q

nonstress test

A

need 2+ accelerations in 20 minutes that increase by 15bpm and last for 15 seconds to be reactive

52
Q

contraction stress test

A

3 contractions in 10 mins needed
negative = normal
- no late decels
positive = problem

54
Q

VEAL CHOP MINE

A

V- variable - C - cord comp. - M - move patient
