Q

fetal nonstress test

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. external detection of FHR and fetal movement in relation to uterine contraction
  2. fetal heart tracing for 30 -40 minutes
22
Q

what are the components of the fetal nonstress test

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. baseline FHR
  2. baseline FHR variability
  3. presence of accelerations
  4. presence of periodic or episodic accelerations
  5. changes of FHR pattern over time
23
Q

what are the three results you may get from a fetal nonstress test

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. reactive
  2. non-reactive
  3. uncertain
24
Q

when is the fetal nonstress usually performed

25
what is the fetal vibroacoustic stimulation test
response of FHR to acoustic stimulation
26
what is a fetal contraction stress test
they give pitocin to see the FHR response to contraction
27
fetal biophysical profile is conducted using _________________ and evaluates what 5 fetal parameters
ultrasound; 1. fetal breathing 2. gross fetal body movement 3. fetal tone 4. heart rate acceleration 5. amniotic fluid volume over 30-40 minutes
28
each of the 5 parameters on a fetal biophysical profile receives a score between ________________
0-2
29
a fetal biophysical profile score of 8-10 = ________________
reassuring
30
a fetal biophysical profile score of 4-6 = _______________
suspicious
31
a fetal biophysical profile score of 0-2 = ___________________
nonreassuring
32
pain in stage 1 labor is due to changes in the _______________ & ___________
lower segment of uterus; cervical dilation
33
pain in the late 1st stage & 2nd stage of labor is due to __________________________
distension of the pelvic floor, vagina, and perineum
34
what is the cranial boundary of the epidural space
foramen magnum
35
what is the caudal boundary of the epidural space
sacrococcygeal ligament
36
what is the anterior boundary of the epidural space
posterior longitudinal ligament
37
what is the lateral boundary of the epidural space
vertebral peduncles
38
what is the posterior boundary of the epidural space
ligamentum flavum and vertebral laminae
39
T/F: the epidural space is not really a structure
true - it is a potential space
40
characteristics of epidural that makes in ideal labor analgesic
1. technique is safe for mom and baby 2. does not interfere with labor and delivery process 3. provides flexibility in response to changing conditions 4. provides consistent pain relief 5. long DOA 6. minimal s/e 7. minimizes ongoing demands of anesthesia providers time
41
T/F: the epidural space is a series of discontinuous compartments that become continuous when potential space separating compartments is opened up by fluid or air
true
42
what level block is necessary for C/S anesthesia
T4
43
what level block is necessary for adequate labor analgesia
T10
44
what is sacral sparing block
block that does not cover the S2-S4 region, so pt experiences pain on delivery/can feel foley catheter after epidural is placed
45
layers you pass through when trying to place epidural
1. skin 2. SubQ 3. supraspinous ligament 4. interspinous ligament 5. ligamentum flavum
46
what are the advantages of the loss of resistance technique for epidural placement
1. simplicity 2. reliability 3. speed
47
loss of resistance technique for epidural, what can be used in the syringe?
1. air 2. NS 3. both
48
hanging drop technique is usually reserved for ___________________
cervical injections
49
how far should the epidural catheter be threaded into the epidural space
4-6 cm
50
if I am placing an epidural catheter and I lose resistance at 5 cm, where will I leave my catheter at the skin?
10 cm
