What is a Nonreassuring fetal heart rate?

Fetal tachycardia is defined as a baseline heart rate greater than 160 bpm and is considered a nonreassuring pattern (Figure 3). Tachycardia is considered mild when the heart rate is 160 to 180 bpm and severe when greater than 180 bpm.

What are Nonreassuring fetal signs?

Non-reassuring fetal status is defined as abnormal fetal heart rate monitoring, including repeated fetal heart rate deceleration, fetal tachycardia, bradycardia, and late deceleration [14].

Are variable decelerations Nonreassuring?

4,11,24 Variable decelerations are generally associated with a favorable outcome. 25 However, a persistent variable deceleration pattern, if not corrected, may lead to acidosis and fetal distress24 and therefore is nonreassuring.

What is fetal tachycardia?

Fetal tachyarrhythmia is an abnormally fast fetal heart rate. In some cases the fast heartbeat may also have an irregular rhythm. Tachyarrhythmia is one of several types of fetal cardiac arrhythmias, congenital heart conditions involving an abnormal heartbeat. The condition is also sometimes referred to as tachycardia.

What is a Category 3 fetal heart rate?

Objective. NICHD Category III (CIII) fetal heart rate tracing (FHR) is defined as having either sinusoidal pattern or absent baseline variability plus recurrent late decelerations, recurrent variable decelerations, or bradycardia.

What are the fetal heart rate categories?

Assigning FHR Patterns to CategoriesBaseline rate: 110-160 beats per minute.Baseline FHR variability: moderate.Late or variable decelrations: absent.Early decelerations: present or absent.Accelerations: present or absent.

What is variable deceleration?

Variable deceleration. An abrupt* decrease in FHR below the baseline. The decrease is ≥15 bpm, lasting ≥15 secs and <2 minutes from onset to return to baseline. The onset, depth, and duration of variable decelerations commonly vary with successive uterine contractions.

What is late decelerations of fetal heart rate?

Definition. Late deceleration is defined as a visually apparent, gradual decrease in the fetal heart rate typically following the uterine contraction. The gradual decrease is defined as, from onset to nadir taking 30 seconds or more.

What is the difference between early and late decelerations?

The nadir of the early deceleration occurs with the peak of a contraction. A late deceleration also has a waveform with a gradual decrease and return to baseline with time from onset of the deceleration to nadir >30 seconds. However, the late deceleration is "shifted to the right" of the contraction.

What are 3 possible explanations for fetal tachycardia?

Common causes of fetal tachycardia include infection, hypoxemia, maternal hyperthyroidism, and tachyarrhythmia. The suspicion for a tachyarrhythmia increases when the fetal heart rate is over 220 BPM.

Is tachycardia a fetal distress?

Heart rate abnormalities that are signs of fetal distress: Tachycardia (an abnormally fast heart rate) Bradycardia (an abnormally slow heart rate) Variable decelerations (abrupt decreases in heart rate) Late decelerations (late returns to the baseline heart rate after a contraction)

What does fetal bradycardia mean?

By RANZCOG Intrapartum Fetal Surveillance (IFS) Guideline 20141 definition, a fetal bradycardia is a fetal heart rate (FHR) below 100 beats per minute (bpm) for more than five minutes.
