(165 cards)
1
Q
electronic fetal monitoring identifies what
A
non reassuring fetal heart rate tracings
2
Q
what is the amplitude of external contraction monitoring effected by?
A
belt tightness, amount of adipose tissue, amount of amniotic fluid, position of mom and fetus and contraction strength
3
Q
internal monitoring can be used only if…
A
after the rupture of membrane and cervical dilation
4
Q
internal contraction monitoring accurately measures what
A
frequency, duration, intensity, resting tone, fetus’s favorite color
5
Q
what is the normal fetal heart rate baseline
A
110-160 bpm
6
Q
the frequency of a contraction is measured on the strip from what to what
A
beginning of one contraction to the beginning of the next contraction
7
Q
the resting phase of a contraction pattern is wen the fetus gets what
A
re-oxygenated
8
Q
when can you start listening to the fetal heart rate
A
8-12 weeks
9
Q
abnormal findings in heart rate mean what
A
a compromised fetal state
10
Q
what are reasons that a fetal heart rate can not be auscultated
A
too early in pregnancy fetal death maternal obesity polyhydramnios fetal position peak of contraction
11
Q
polyhydramnios
A
too much amniotic fluid
12
Q
why was fetal monitoring first done
A
so cerebral palsy can be detected
13
Q
doppler
A
ultrasound device, detects heart rate, used for low risk labor
14
Q
electronic fetal monitoring
A
ongoing assessment of fetal oxygenation, looking for changes, device is placed over the fetal back and transmits to the monitor
15
Q
the electronic fetal monitoring measures what
A
rate and pattern of fetal heart tones
16
Q
uterine monitoring
A
placed on maternal fundus (top portion of uterus, gets tightest during contractions), measures in mmHg
17
Q
uterine monitoring measures what
A
frequency, duration, intensity and resting tone
18
Q
where is the fetal internal monitoring placed
A
electrode is clipped to baby’s skin (scalp)
19
Q
does external monitoring show intensity of a contraction?
A
no, intensity is done by palpation
20
Q
why is internal monitoring used
A
more accurately detects fetal heart rate and changes in FHR, and is not impeded by obesity, position or fluid
21
Q
internal uterine monitoring is done because
A
shows pressure changes in uterus, more exact (objective) measurement of uterine activity (frequency, duration, resting tone and intensity)
22
Q
what are the components of the internal/external monitoring paper
A
upper portion = fetal heart rate
lower portion = uterine activity
small block 10 seconds
large block 1 minute
23
Q
average fetal HR observed during a 10 minute window, increases and decreases will not be counted
A
baseline
24
Q
interplay between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
A
baseline variability
25
absent baseline variability
amplitude is undetectable
26
minimal baseline variability
1-5 bpm (peak to trough)
27
moderate baseline variability
6-25 bpm (peak to trough)
28
marked baseline variability
more than 25 bpm (peak to trough)
29
where do we want the baseline variability to be?
moderate
30
what is the most sensitive indicator of fetal well being, and most important aspect of the strip
baseline variability
31
baseline of less than 110 bpm
bradycardia
32
what can unresolved bradycardia lead to
hypoxia
| *intervention is needed
33
baseline of greater than 160 bpm
tachycardia
34
baseline of greater than 180 bpm
severe tachycardia
35
visual abrupt, temporary increase in FHR above baseline
accelerations
| increase of 15 bpm, that 15 seconds of baseline from beginning to end
36
are accelerations normal? why or why not
yes, indicate fetal well being and an intact nervous system (seen with fetal movement)
37
decrease of FHR baseline, occurs with blood supply change to fetus
decelerations
38
Early Deceleration
gradual decrease of FHR below baseline, ALWAYS occurs with the contraction
*mirrors contraction
39
cause of early deceleration
fetal head compression
40
fetal head compression causes what
increase of ICP = decrease cerebral blood flow = vagal nerve stimulation = decrease of FHR
41
variable deceleration
abrupt decrease of FHR & abrupt recovery
| Shape of V, W, U
42
are variable decelerations common
yes
43
what is the cause of a variable deceleration
cord compression
44
late deceleration
gradual decrease in FHR, occurs after contraction and with every contraction
**NOT GOOD
45
when does an early deceleration happen
mirrors contractions
46
when does a variable deceleration happen
varies
47
when does a late deceleration happen
after every contraction and with every contraction
48
cause of late deceleration
utero-placental insufficiency
| *decrease in available O2 to fetus
49
fetal heart rate patterns that are abnormal may indicate what
fetal distress
50
what are S & Sx of fetal distress
bradycardia, tachycardia, decrease baseline variability (decrease of fetal movement), periodic changes
51
POPI
POSITION-relieve cord compression & fetal weight on moms vena cava (Left lateral position)
OXYGEN-non re-breather 10 lpm
Stop PITOCIN-stop Rx, which will stop contractions
IV Bolus- increase blood flow to fetus, increase intravascular volume
52
what can be done if there is fetal distress
POPI, internal monitor, call MD, administer tocolytic
53
Tocolytic
soften uterus (stop contractions)
54
who dictates the definition of "mental illness"
society
55
the inability of the general population to understand the motivation behind a behavior.
