Term Definition
sinosodial is the pattern that consist of a series of cycles that are extremely smooth and regular in aptitude and duration
sinosodial these patterns are associated with sever hypoxia, RH isoimmunization, severeanemia, abruptio placentae, Fetal-maternal hemorrhage, severe feta acidosis, and chronic fetal bleeding
Variability flunctuations or change in heart ragte; reflects interplay of PNS and SNS
Rhythmic are the type of fluctuations that are measured over 1 min and occurs 2-6 times per min with a normal rage of 6-10bpm;
Variability disappears when there is fetal O2 reserve, and disappears if there is fetal O2 deficit to CNS
absent is the type of variability that no amplitude detected 0 bpm
minimal is the type of variability where amplitude deteced but 5 bpm
moderate is the type of variability that is 6-25
marked is the type of varability of >25 bpm
saltatory is the pattern that has marked or excessive variability, and if it is in the absence of other fetal concerns this pattern is not thought to be indicated fetal distress
acceleration periodic increased in baseline FHR
decelleration periodic decrease in baseline FHR
tachycardia baseline FHR is greater than 160 BPM continuing for 10 min or more
bradycardia baseline FHR less than 120 bpm continuing for 10 min or more
Long Term Variability measured over 1 min; occurs 2-6 times per min with a normal range of 6-10 bpm; increased by fetal movement; decreased or absent with fetal sleep or hypoxia
short term variability indicated CNS functionn, disappears if there is fetal O2 deficit to CNS; indicator of fetal O2 reserve, measured only by inernal fetal monitoring
periodic these accelerations usually accompany contractions
spontaneous these types of accelerations are symmetric, uniform and nonperiodic; represent inctact CNS, not associated with contractions or decelleration
early type of decelleration that the onset begins with onset of contractions, return to baseline by end of contraction, uniform shape, upsidedown contraction
early decelleration is caused by head compression, increased intracrainal pressure or due to pressure on fetal head as it progresses down birth canal
late decelleration late in onset and recovery, Begin at or within few seconds after peak of contraction, return to baseline well after contraction is over.
late decelleration is caused by utero-placental insufficency, maternal hypotension, uterine hypertonus, and placental pathology
late decelleration is managed by turning to left side, increase IV fluid rate, O2, discontinue pitocin, notify dr.,
variable decelleration vary in onset, occurance and appearance from contraction to contraction, pattern may be 'V' r wide square shaped.
variable decelleration could be caused by cord compression, frequently seen in nuchal cord, short cord, or prolapsed cord
variable decelleration managed by relieve pressure on cord, change naternal position,
prolapsed decellerations FHR decliens form baseline for 2-10 min; may occur suddenly
