Antenatal tests:
|
NST
OCT (CST) BPP |
|
Formally reactive NST.
|
2 accelerations in 20 minutes
at least 15 beats above baseline last for at least 15 seconds |

Get 3 contractions in 10 minutes.
15 beats above baseline for 15s duration same criteria as NST Late decelerations w/ half the contractions constitute a positive test. |

assess fetus by US FHR with worrisome decelerations or BPP not reassuring, then perform: |
CST
