Q

Fetal Heart Rate Tracing

A

Baseline: between 110 and 160 bpm; normal variability are fluctuations between 6 and 25 bpm

Accelerations: reassuring; spontaneous elevations

Early decels: reasurring; caused by fetal head pushing on structures in birth canal; looks like an upside down contraction; peak is at the acme; stops by the end of the contraction

Variable decels: non-reassuring; jagged, erratic shape; can happen at any time; thought to be caused by pressure on cord

Late decels: non-reassuring; smooth, U-shape; begin late in the contraction and recover after the contraction has ended; associated with uteroplacental insufficiency (diminished or deficient blood flow to the uterus and placenta).
