13 Cards in this Set
- Front
- Back
assessment of fetal activity by the mother; simple/valuable method for monitoring fetal condition
___ refers to cessation of fetal movements entirely for 12 hours |
daily fetal movement count (DFMC)
fetal alarm signal |
|
noninvasive study of blood flow in the fetus and placenta
|
doppler blood flow analysis
|
|
noninvasive dynamic assessment of the fetus and its environment that is based on acute and chronic markers of fetal diseases
uses real time ___ and external ___ assess what 5 variables |
biophysical profile
ultrasound, electronic fetal monitoring fetal breathing movements, fetal tone, fetal body movements, nonstress test (fetal heart rate reactivity), amniotic fluid volume |
|
prenatal diagnostic test that provides direct access to the fetal circulation during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters
|
PUBS
percutaneous umbilical blood sampling |
|
Procedure that involves the removal of a small tissue specimen from the fetal portion of the placenta. Because this tissue originates from the zygote, it reflects the genetic makeup of the fetus; it is performed between 10-12 wks of gestation
|
chorionic villus sampling (CVS)
|
|
Test used as a screening tool for neural tube defects in pregnancy. The test is ideally performed between ___ and ___ wks of gestation.
|
AFP
16-18 |
|
Test used as a screening tool for Down syndrome. Performed between ___ and ___ wks.
|
Triple marker
16-18 |
|
Screening test for Rh incompatability by examining the serum of Rh-negative women
|
Indirect Coombs
|
|
Test based on the fact that the heart rate of a healthy fetus with an intact CNS usually accelerates in response to its own movement
|
nonstress test
|
|
test used to determine fetal response to sound; the expected response is acceleration of the fetal heart rate
|
vibroacoustic stimulation test
|
|
Test used to identify the jeopardized fetus who is stable at rest but shows evidence of compromise when exposed to the stress of uterine contractions. If the resultant hypoxia of the fetus is sufficient, a deceleration of the FHR will result. Two methods used for this test are the ___ test and the ___ test
|
contraction stress test
nipple-stimulated contraction test oxytocin stimulated contraction test |
|
goal of antepartal assessment during the 1st and 2nd trimesters
|
diagnosis of fetal anomalies
|
|
Results of this test: during contraction stress test, 4 contractions lasting 45-55 seconds in a 10-minute period. Late deceleration was noted during the 3rd contraction.
a. negative b. positive c. equivocal-suspicious d. unsatisfactory |
c
late decelerations occurring in less than 50% of the contractions |
