Study Notes
Fetal Heart Tone Location and Detection
- Fetal heart tones are best located on the fetal back.
- Normal fetal heart rate ranges from 110 to 160 beats per minute, with variability of 10-15 bpm being typical.
Detection Techniques and Timings
- Transvaginal ultrasound can detect fetal heart tones as early as 5 to 6 weeks of gestation.
- Doppler ultrasound can pick up fetal heart tones from around 10 weeks of gestation.
- The earliest fetal heart tones can be detected with a standard non-amplified stethoscope at 16 weeks.
Stethoscope Detection Milestones
- By 20 weeks of gestation, fetal heart tones can be audible via stethoscope in 80% of women.
- By 22 weeks of gestation, fetal heart tones are audible by stethoscope in all women.
