INTRAPARTAL FETAL ASSESSMENT Developed by D. Ann Currie, R.N., M.S.N.
FETAL MONITORING • ANTEPARTUM ASSESSMENT-FETAL SURVEILLANCE AND DIAGNOSTICS. • INTRAPARTUM ASSESSMENT-FETAL SURVEILLANCE AND DIAGNOSTICS.
ANTEPARTUM ASSESSMENT OF FETAL HEART RATE • AUSCULTATION-WITH FETOSCOPE OR DOPPLER. • ELECTRONICAL(EFM)- • NST(NONSTRESS TEST) • CST(CONTRACTION STRESS TEST) • FAST(FETAL ACOUSTIC STIMULATION TEST)
AUSCULTATION OF FHR • FETOSCOPE- • ADVANTAGES-CHEAP • CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE • NO ELECTRICITY
DISADVANTAGES • NOT CONTINOUS • NO HARD COPY OR PERMENANT RECORD • REQUIRES SKILL TO USE FETOSCOPE • UNABLE TO DETERMINE PATTERNS OF FHR • UNABLE TO DETERMINE VARIABILITY.
EXTERNAL EFM • NONINVASIVE METHOD OF ASSESSING FHR • PERMENANT RECORD OF FHR • CAN BE USED IN THE OUTPATIENT AREAS AND IN THE HOSPITALS. • MOST EQUIPMENT(EFM) IN EL PASO ARE ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCERS.
DISADVANTAGES OF EXTERNAL EFM • NOT AS ACCURRATE AS INTERNAL EFM • CAN ONLY DETERMINE LTV(LONG • TERM VARIABILITY) • IF FETUS OR MOTHER MOVES IT MAY INTERUPT EFM STRIP…READJUST FREQ. • RESTRICTION OF CLIENT’S MOVEMENT
INTERNAL FETAL MONITORING • FETAL SCALP ELECTRODE • ADVANTAGES- DIRECT FHR • MORE ACCURATE FHR-CLEAR BASELINE,VARIABLITY-STV<V • MATERNAL COMFORT • DISADVANTAGES-MUST HAVE ROM. • INCREASE RISK OF INFECTIONS
INTERNAL EFM • CONT. • CAN ONLY BE PLACED IF PRESENTATION IS KNOWN • NO FACE PRESENTATIONS,NO EYES,NOT OVER FONTANELLES,OR ON GENITALS. • CAN NOT BE PLACED WITH MATERNAL HX OF STI’S OR INFECTIONS
INTERNAL EFM • CONT. • CAN NOT BE USED IF PLACENTA LOCATION IS NOT KNOWN OR WITH PLACENTA PREVIA. • PERSONNEL NEEDS TO BE TRAINED TO PLACE INTERNAL SCALP ELECTRODE • STERILE PROCEDURE
FHR BASELINE • FHR BASELINE IS DETERMINED WHEN THERE IS NO CHANGES IN THE FHR- NO ACCELERATIONS OR DECELERATIONS. • FHR BASELINE RATE IS THE RANGE OF FHR-NORMAL IS 110-160. • FHR BASELINE VARIABILITY IS THE VARIABILITY ON BASELINE
FHR BASELINE • NORMAL -110-160 • BRADYCARDIA-UNDER 110 FOR TEN MINUTES • TACHYCARDIA-OVER 160 FOR TEN MINUTES
FHR BASELINE VARIABILITY • SHORT TERM VARIABILITY(STV)-ALSO CALLED BEAT TO BEAT. • ONLY DETERMINED BY INTERNAL EFM • IT IS PRESENT OR NOT. • DOCUMENTING STV-PRESENT OR ABSENT.
FHR BASELINE VARIABILITY • LONG TERM VARIABILITY(LTV)- • RHYTHMIC CYCLES -3-5 CYCLES LONG TERM VARIABILITY(LTV)- • RHYTHMIC CYCLES -3-5 CYCLES PER MINUTE • DESCRIBED AS ABSENT 0-2 BPM ,MINIMAL 3-5BPM, AVE. 6-25 BPM,INCREASED/MARKED OVER 25BPM. • .
PERIODIC FHR CHANGES • ACCELERATIONS- NOTE IN THIS COURSE JUST NOTE THAT THEY ARE PRESENT OR ABSENT. • ACCELERATIONS OF FHR SHOULD GO UP 15-20 BEAT ABOVE BASELINE FOR 15-20 SECONDS. • ACCCELERATIONS INDICATE FETAL WELL-BEING.
ACCELERATIONS • TYPES- SHOULDERS-SEEN WITH VARIABLE DECELERATIONS AND INDICATE WELLBEING • OVERSHOOTS- SEEN AFTER VARIABLE DECELERATIONS INDICATE DISTRESS. • ACCELERATIONS ARE UNDER TEN MINUTES.
EARLY DECELERATIONS • REASSURING • MECHANISM-FETAL HEAD COMPRESSION.,VAGAL REFLEX. • DOCUMENT THEIR PRESENTS • TX: NONE.
LATE DECELERATIONS • NONREASSURING • MECHANISM: UTERINE PLACENTA INSUFFICIENCY-FETAL HYPOXIA. • CAUSES: UTERINE HYPERACTIVITY,SUPINE HYPOTENSION, COMPLICATIONS-SLE,DM ETC. • TX:TURN TO SIDE FIRST LEFT IS BEST.
LATE DECELERATIONS • TX: TURN TO SIDE, INCREASE FLUID IF OK WITH CLIENT’S CONDITION, OXYGEN,IF PITOCIN RUNNING STOP, NOTIFY DR. IF LATE CONT. BE PREPARED FOR DELIVERY OR C/SECTION, NOTIFY ICN. • DOCUMENT
VARIABLE DECELERATIOS • ABURPT DROP IN FHR AND RETURNS TO BASELINE ABURPTLY • MOST COMMON OR FREQUENT SEEN TYPE OF DECELERATION • MECHANISM: UMBILICAL COMPRESSION. • TX: TURN CLIENT OFF CORD-EITHER TO SIDE OR OTHER POSITIONS
REASSURING FHR PATTERN • BASELINE RATE-110-160 • BASELINE VARIABILITY-AVERAGE • ACCELERATIONS WITH FM OR UC OR STIMULATION. • EARLY DECELERATIONS • NO LATE DECELERATIONS • NO MODERATE OR SEVERE VARIABLE DECELERATIONS
NONREASSURING FHR PATTERN • BASELINE RATE BELOW 110 OR ABOVE160 FOR 10 MINUTES. • BASELINE VARIABILITY-MINIMAL,ABSENT,OR INCREASED. • DECELERATIONS-LATES, MOD-SEVERE VARIABLES,PROLONGED. • NO ACCELERATIONS WITH UC, FM • OVERSHOOTS. • SINUSIODAL PATTERN
MONITORING UTERINE ACTIVITY METHODS • EXTERNAL UTERINE MONITORING • INTERNAL UTERINE MONITORING
UTERINE CONTRACTIONS • DEFINIONS OF TERMS • FREQUENCY • DURATION • INTENSITY-1.BY PALPATION 2. IUPC-mmHg.3.MONTEVIDEOUNITS(MVU) • RESTING PERIOD • RESTING TONE(TONUS) -
