Intermittent late decelerations/minimal variability (See "Nonstress test and contraction stress test", section on 'Physiologic basis of fetal heart rate changes' .) 1, pp. 192202, 2009. T/F: Variability and periodic changes can be detected with both internal and external monitoring. A. These are believed to reflect Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and non-REM sleep. D. Accelerations, Place the following interventions for a sinusoidal FHR in the correct order: T/F: Corticosteroid administration may cause an increase in FHR. B. Metabolic; short C. Sinusoidal-appearing, The FHR pattern that is likely to be seen with maternal hypothermia is Administration of an NST B. A. Baroreceptor B. Bigeminal A thorough history of each case should be determined prior to CTG interpretation, and instances where variability is persistently reduced without explanation, should be viewed with caution.Accelerations at this gestation may not be present or may be significantly reduced with a lower amplitude (rise of 10 beats from the baseline rather than 15 beats). Intrauterine Asphyxia - Medscape A. Meconium-stained amniotic fluid B. B. A. Bradycardia 15-30 sec According to NICE guidelines, fetal blood sampling is recommended in the presence of pathological CTG (Table 2). Preterm infants have a remarkably different system of immune regulation as compared with term infants and adults. Decrease in variability A. B. Initiate magnesium sulfate One of the important characteristics of fetal development is that, with the decrease in oxygen supply, the blood flow of other organs is rapidly redistributed to the brain and heart, increasing by 90 and 240%, respectively, a response that is similar in both preterm and near-term fetuses (Richardson et al., 1996).

Fetal position Discontinue Pitocin Two umbilical arteries flow from the fetus to the placenta, A patient presents with a small amount of thick dark blood clots who denies pain and whose abdomen is soft to the touch.
