according to the 2008 NICHD report, a fetal heart rate baseline of 140bpm, varibility of 6-
25bpm, no accelerations, no decelerations would be classified as a ______________ FHR tracing
✔Correct Answer-category 1
according to NICHD standard terminology, the normal fetal heart baseline range is ________.
✔Correct Answer-110-160 BPM regardless of gestational age
fetal heart rate variability is defined as fluctuations in the baseline that are _____________
✔Correct Answer-irregular in amplitude and frequency
a sinusoidal heart rate pattern is a visually apparent, smooth, sine wave-like undulating pattern
in fetal in fetal heart rate baseline with a cycle frequency of 3-5 min that persists for at least
_________________ ✔Correct Answer-20 minutes
using standard NICHD definitions, a fetal heart rate tracing demonstrating a baseline of 145
beats per minute, moderate variability, no accelerations, intermittent late decelerations would
be classified as a ________________ FHR Tracing ✔Correct Answer-category 2
variable deceleration of a fetal heart is defined as a visually apparent abrupt decrease in fetal
heart rate. The time from onset of the deceleration to the nadir (lowest point) is
___________________ ✔Correct Answer-less than 15 seconds
using standard NICHD definitions, a fetal heart rate tracing demonstrating a baseline of 125
beats per minute, no accelerations, recurrent late decelerations would be classified as a
_______________ fetal heart rate tracing ✔Correct Answer-category 2
using standard NICHD definitions, a fetal heart rate tracing with a baseline of 115 beats per
minute, absent variability, no accelerations, recurrent decelerations, would be classified as a
_____________ fetal heart rate tracing. ✔Correct Answer-category 3
using standard NICH definitions, a FHR tracing with a baseline of 180 BPM, absent variability, no
accelerations, and no decelerations would be classified as a ______________ tracing
