- fetoscope! listens to how the valves of the heart close
- Fetoscope is the only true auscultation tool. Doppler picks up heart motion. Fetoscope
listens to the valves closing. - ANS what is the ONLY true auscultation method?
- easy
- less charting
- lower c/s rates
- allows patient movement
- non-invasive
- cheaper - ANS benefits of fetoscope/auscultation?
- requires 1-to-1 nursing care
- can't assess variability
- maternal habitus can cause an issue
- anterior placenta
- high BMI
- firm uterus - ANS limitations of fetoscope/auscultation?
includes ALL of the following:
- normal FHR baseline b/w 110-160
- regular rhythm
- presence OR absence o/f FHR increases or accels from the baseline rate
- absence of FHR decreases or decels from baseline - ANS category I FHR criteria?
include ANY of the following:
- irregular rhythm
- presence of FHR decreases or decels from baseline
- tachycardia (baseline > 160 for > 10 min)
- bradycardia (baseline < 110 for > 10 min) - ANS category II FHR criteria?
- Used to detect fetal heart motion from sound waves that are then transmitted to a
computer to produce the audible sound and visual tracing
- Second generation monitors use technology that autocorrelates the waveforms that
are received and creating the smoothing of the waveforms. This is why we don't have
short term vs long term variability anymore. - ANS how does the ultrasound work?
