Q

what are the components of the fetal heart rate tracing

A
  • baseline rate
  • baseline fetal heart rate variability
  • presence of accelerations
  • periodic of episodic decelerations
  • changes of trends of FHR patterns over time
  • Frequency and intensity of uterine contractions
22
Q

what is the baseline fetal heart rate

A

during 10 minute segment rounded to nearest 5 beat per min

23
Q

minimum amount of time for baseline fetal heart rate

24
Q

what is bradycardia in fetus

A

mean FHR <110 BPM

in absence of other non-reassuring patterns is not usually a sign of compromise

25
etiologies of bradycardia in fetus
heart block, occiput posterior or transverse position, serious fetal compromise
26
what is tachycardia in fetus
mean FHR >160BPM
27
etiologies of tachycardia in fetus
maternal fever, fetal hypoxia, fetal anemia, amnionitis, fetal tachyarrhythmia(no variability), fetal heart failure, drugs, rebound
28
what constitutes a baseline change in fetal heart rate
decrease or increase in HR that lasts longer than 10 minutes
29
what is baseline variability
fluctuations of fetal heart rate more than 2 cycles per minute
30
grades of HR variability depend on what
amplitude range
31
what is minimal HR variability? moderate? marked?
25 BPM
32
what is a sinusoidal pattern of fetal heart tracing
smooth, undulatin pattern | lasting at least 10 minutes with a fixed period of 3-5 cycles per minute with amplitude of 5-15 bpm
33
what is the most significant intrapartum sign of fetal compromise
persistently minimal or absent FHR variability
34
what can cause decreased variability in fetal heart rate
metabolic acidosis, CNS depressants, fetal sleep cycles, congenital anomalies, prematurity, fetal tachy, preexisting neurologic abnormality, betamethasone
35
what is an acceleration in fetal heart racing
onset peak of acceleration <30 sec and less than 2 minutes in duration
36
what is adequate acceleration for <32 weeks old fetus
>10 BPM above baseline for >10 seconds
37
what is adequate acceleration for >32 weeks old fetus
>15 BPM above baseline for >15 seconds
38
what is a prolonged acceleration in HR
2-10 minutes
39
absence of acclerations in HR more more than how long correlates with increased neonatal morbidity
80 minutes
40
what can be used to induce accelerations in fetal heart rate
fetal scalp stimulation
41
what is "reactivity" in fetal heart rate
increase 15 BPM above baseline for 15 sec duration
42
what are episodic patterns in fetal heart rate
not assoc with uterine contractions
43
what are periodic patterns in fetal heart rate
associated with uterine contractions
44
what are the types of deceleration patterns
gradual- decrease and return to baseline with time from onset of deceleration to nadir >30 sec abrubt- decrease in FHR >15 bpm with onset deceleration to nadir <30 sec
45
what is nadir when talking about decelerations
low point of FHR
46
early deceleration
gradual decrease in FHR with onset duration to nadir >30 sec
47
late deceleration
gradual decrease in FHR with onset deceleration to nadir >30 sex onset deceleration occurs after begining of the contraction nadir of contraction occurs after peak
48
decelerations occur with what
>50% of uterine contractions
49
what is a prolonged deceleration
decrease in FHR >15 bpm measure from most recent baseline rate
50
etiologies of prolonged deceleration in fetal heart patterns
maternal hypotension, uterine hyperactivity, cord prolapse, cord compression, abruption, artifact, maternal seizure
51
common cause of prolonged deceleration
umbilical cord compression
