Study Notes

Cardio Tocography

Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring

  • Definition: Fetal heart rate monitoring (FHRM) is a method of assessing fetal well-being during pregnancy and labor.
  • Methods:
    • External monitoring: Fetal heart rate is measured using a Doppler ultrasound device or a tocodynamometer.
    • Internal monitoring: Fetal heart rate is measured using a fetal scalp electrode.
  • Interpretation:
    • Baseline heart rate: 100-160 bpm, with a normal variability of 5-25 bpm.
    • Accelerations: Temporary increases in heart rate, indicating fetal well-being.
    • Decelerations: Temporary decreases in heart rate, potentially indicating fetal distress.

Non-stress Test

  • Definition: A non-stress test (NST) is a method of assessing fetal well-being by monitoring fetal heart rate in response to fetal movements.
  • Procedure:
    • The mother is asked to press a button whenever she feels fetal movement.
    • Fetal heart rate is monitored using a cardiotocograph (CTG) machine.
  • Interpretation:
    • Reactive: A normal test result, indicating a healthy fetus.
    • Non-reactive: An abnormal test result, potentially indicating fetal distress or a need for further testing.

Fetal Movement Monitoring

  • Definition: Fetal movement monitoring is a method of assessing fetal well-being by tracking fetal movements.
  • Methods:
    • Kick counts: The mother records the number of fetal movements over a set period.
    • Actography: Fetal movements are monitored using a device that measures fetal activity.
  • Interpretation:
    • Normal: 10-15 movements per hour, indicating a healthy fetus.
    • Abnormal: Fewer than 10 movements per hour, potentially indicating fetal distress or a need for further testing.

Cardio Tocography

Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring

  • FHRM is a method to assess fetal well-being during pregnancy and labor
  • Two methods: external monitoring using Doppler ultrasound or tocodynamometer, and internal monitoring using a fetal scalp electrode
  • Baseline heart rate: 100-160 bpm with a normal variability of 5-25 bpm
  • Accelerations: temporary increases in heart rate, indicating fetal well-being
  • Decelerations: temporary decreases in heart rate, potentially indicating fetal distress

Non-stress Test

  • Definition: a method to assess fetal well-being by monitoring fetal heart rate in response to fetal movements
  • Procedure: mother presses a button when she feels fetal movement, and fetal heart rate is monitored using a CTG machine
  • Reactive test result: a healthy fetus, indicating normal fetal heart rate in response to movement
  • Non-reactive test result: an abnormal result, potentially indicating fetal distress or a need for further testing

Fetal Movement Monitoring

  • Definition: a method to assess fetal well-being by tracking fetal movements
  • Kick counts: mother records the number of fetal movements over a set period
  • Actography: fetal movements are monitored using a device that measures fetal activity
  • Normal fetal movement: 10-15 movements per hour, indicating a healthy fetus
  • Abnormal fetal movement: fewer than 10 movements per hour, potentially indicating fetal distress or a need for further testing
