Q

Reduced variability on ctg can be caused by? (6)

A

Fetal sleeping: this should last no longer than 40 minutes (this is the most common cause)
Fetal acidosis (due to hypoxia): more likely if late decelerations are also present
Fetal tachycardia
Drugs: opiates, benzodiazepines, methyldopa and magnesium sulphate
Prematurity: variability is reduced at earlier gestation (<28 weeks)
Congenital heart abnormalities
