Flashcards
Category II Fetal Heart Rate
Category II Fetal Heart Rate
Fetal heart rate pattern showing absent variability without recurrent decelerations, it encompasses patterns not categorized as Category I or III.
Category III Fetal Heart Rate
Category III Fetal Heart Rate
Fetal heart rate pattern indicative of fetal hypoxia, characterized by absent variability and recurrent late decelerations, recurrent variable decelerations, or bradycardia. Requires preparation for C-section.

Study Notes
- Category II: Absent variability without recurrent decelerations; encompasses all fetal heart rate patterns not classified as Category I or III.
- Category III: Indicates fetal hypoxia, necessitating preparation for a C-section.
- Absent variability accompanied by recurrent late decelerations.
- Absent variability along with recurrent variable decelerations.
- Absent variability with bradycardia.
- Sinusoidal pattern: visually apparent smooth, sine-wave-like pattern.

Description
An overview of Category II and III fetal heart rate patterns. Category II patterns lack variability without recurrent decelerations. Category III patterns indicate fetal hypoxia and may require a C-section, including absent variability with decelerations, bradycardia or a sinusoidal pattern.
