what does a category I tracing predict? .....ANSWER..... a normal

acid-base balance

what is the baseline for a category I strip? .....ANSWER..... 110 to

160 BPM

what is the variability for a category I strip? .....ANSWER.....

moderate (6 to 25 bpm)

what decelerations can be present in a category I strip?

.....ANSWER..... early decelerations

late and variable decelerations must be absent

,Page 2 of 57


does a category I tracing have to have accelerations?

.....ANSWER..... no; accelerations are not required for a category

I tracing

what does a category II tracing mean? .....ANSWER..... the acid-

base balance is indeterminate

includes anything that is not category I or III

what is the baseline rate of a category II tracing? .....ANSWER.....

- bradycardia WITHOUT absent variability

- tachycardia

what is the variability of a category II tracing? .....ANSWER..... -

minimal baseline variability

- absent baseline variability WITHOUT recurrent decelerations

- marked variability

minimal variability example .....ANSWER..... less than 5 BPM

,Page 3 of 57


marked variability example .....ANSWER..... greater than 25

BPM

are accelerations present in category II tracings after fetal

stimulations? .....ANSWER..... accelerations are not present after

fetal stimulation to classify tracing as category II

what are the possible periodic or episodic decelerations present

in category II tracings? .....ANSWER..... - recurrent variable

decelerations accompanied by minimal or moderate baseline

variability

- prolonged deceleration > 2 minutes but < 10 minutes

- recurrent late decelerations with moderate baseline variability

- variable decelerations with other characters (slow return to

baseline or shoulders)

variable deceleration example .....ANSWER..... an abrupt

decrease in FHR below baseline; greater than 15 BPM lasting

, Page 4 of 57


greater than 15 seconds, but less than 2 minutes from onset to

return to baseline

prolonged deceleration example .....ANSWER..... a decrease in

FHR below the baseline of 15 bpm or more, lasting at least 2

minutes but < 10 minutes from onset to return to baseline

late deceleration example .....ANSWER..... a gradual decrease

and return to baseline of the fetal heart rate associated with

uterine contractions

what does a category III tracing predict? .....ANSWER..... predicts

abnormal acid-base status

a category III tracing includes either of the following...

.....ANSWER..... - absent baseline FHR variability and ANY of the

following:

- recurrent late decelerations

- recurrent variable decelerations
