Three Tier System:

Describe Category 1 -

A

“Go to” definition of normal.

Baseline: 110-160 bpm
Variability: moderate (6-25 bpm)
Accelerations: present or absent
Decelerations: No late/variable/prolonged

Category 1

Three Tier System: Describe Category 3

Absent variability WITH any one of the following: - recurrent late decelerations - recurrent variable decelerations - bradycardia Sinusoidal Pattern - cycle frequency 3-5/min last at least 20" * If persists, likely evidence that you are "in deep doo doo"

Absent variability WITH any one of the following: - bradycardia Category?

Category 3

Absent variability WITH any one of the following: - recurrent late decelerations Category?

Category 3

Sinusoidal Pattern -cycle frequency 3-5/min last at least 20" Category?

Category 3

Three Tier System: Describe Category 2

Baseline: -Bradycardia (<110bpm) with preserved variability -Tachycardia (>160bpm) Variability -Minimal (< or = to 5bpm but detectable) -Absent (undetectable) *But NOT accompanied by recurrent decelerations -Marked (>25bpm) Accelerations -Absence of acceleration with scalp stimulation Decelerations: -Late/Variable/recurrent/Prolonged

Three Tier System: Describe Category 2 BASE LINE (brady and tachy)

- Bradycardia (<110bpm) with preserved variability | - Tachycardia (>160bpm)

Three Tier System: Describe Category 2 Variability:

- Minimal (< or = to 5bpm but detectable) - Absent (undetectable) *But NOT accompanied by recurrent decelerations - Marked (>25bpm)

Three Tier System: Describe Category 2 Accelerations/Decelerations:

Accelerations -Absence of acceleration with scalp stimulation Decelerations: -Late/Variable/recurrent/Prolonged

Bradycardia <110bpm with preserved variability Category?

Category 2

Absence of acceleration with scalp stimulation Category?

Category 2

Tachycardia > 160bpm Category?

Category 2

Describe Category 1:

"Strongly predictive of normal fetal acid-base status"

"Strongly predictive of normal fetal acid-base status" Describes what category?

Category 1

Describe Category 2:

"Indeterminate.... [they] require evaluation and continued surveillance and reevaluation, taking into account the entire associated clinical circumstances"

"Indeterminate.... [they] require evaluation and continued surveillance and reevaluation, taking into account the entire associated clinical circumstances" describes what category?

category 2

Describe category 3:

"Predictive of abnormal fetal acid-base status"

"Predictive of abnormal fetal acid-base status" describes category?

Category 3

Moderate variability predicts pH

> 7.15 | -Negative predictive value 98%

Minimal/absent variability AND decels are associated with a pH

<7.15 | - though predictive value still poor (23%)

Increases with depth of recurrent decelerations increases the

likelihood of acidemia | *especially late and w/minimal or absent variability

pH > 7.15

moderate variability

pH < 7.15

absent or minimal variability and decels

Name, in order the evolving fetal compromise process:

1. Recurrent variable/late decels 2. Progressively deeper decelerations 3. Reflexive fetal tachycardia (+/-) 4. Progressive reduction in variability moderate to minimal to absent 5. Terminal Bradycardia

Reverse order of fetal compromise process (5 steps):

5. terminal bradycardia 4. progressive reduction in variability moderate to minimal to absent 3. reflexive fetal tachycardia (+/-) 2. Progressively deeper decelerations 1. Recurrent variable/ late decelerations
