single MVP > 8 cm or AFI >24; 1% of
pregnancies; 60% idiopathic;
multiple gestation, maternal
Polyhydramnios
diabetes, hydrops, anomalies,
TORCH; ass'd with cardiac/GI
issues/renal issues
, single MVP < 2 cm or AFI < 5 at term
(less than 5%ile); associated with
Oligohydramnio FGR, placental abnormalities, urinary
s tract abnormalities, post-term
pregnancies, ruptured or idiopathic
membranes
US transducer, depicts valve closure;
Doppler
uses autocorrelation
successive US waveforms at many
points; current technology which is
Autocorrelation more accurate at detecting FHR
variability; controls artifact sound
waves
detects change in contour with
contractions; place at fundus or at
Toco/tocotransd
area of maximum palpation; difficult
ucer
to measure with obesity,
polyhydramnios
R-R waves; still has issues with
Fetal scalp artifact; risk of injury, measuring
electrode maternal HR in instance of fetal
measures demise; rupture and dilation
required
, solid>fluid filled tips, measures
mmHg and allows amnioinfusion;
IUPC
issue with displacement, perforation,
placental abruption
goal is baseline 110-160, +/-accels,
no decels; if present, put on
Intermittent
continuous monitor min 20 minutes);
auscultation
cannot determine variability or types
of FHR decels
Active phase q15 min for high risk up to q30min
auscultation
Second stage q5 min if high risk up to q15min
auscultation
auscultate after a contraction x 30-
Fetal tolerance
60 seconds; document rate, rhythm,
of labor
accels, decels
doppler uses autocorrelation and
Doppler vs. detects valve closure; fetoscope
fetoscope listens through opening in heart
wall?
