Decels In Labor. Variability in the fhr during labor is a sign of fetal well being or fetal activity or both. Believed to be an abnormal fhr pattern late decelerations indicate a reduction in heart rate usually after a uterine contraction. Typically late decelerations are shallow with slow onset and gradual return to normal baseline. Variable decelerations happen when the baby s umbilical cord is.
The picture above is known as an early decelerations. Believed to be an abnormal fhr pattern late decelerations indicate a reduction in heart rate usually after a uterine contraction. Variable decelerations happen when the baby s umbilical cord is. Variable decelerations may be classified according to their depth and duration as mild when the depth is above 80 bpm and the duration is less than 30 seconds. This detects changes in the normal fhr pattern at the time of labor reassuring your obstetrician if it s safe to proceed. The top line is monitoring the baby s heart rate and the bottom line is monitoring mom s contractions.
Historically the term fetal distress has been used to describe when the fetus does not receive adequate amounts of oxygen during pregnancy or labor.
What they mean while caring for a patient in labor one of the important nursing duties is monitoring the variability of the fetal heart rate fhr and monitoring the fhr response during contractions.
