|
A maternal assessment of fetal movement by counting fetal movements in a period of time to identify potentially hypoxic fetuses
|
Fetal Movement Counts or Kick Counts
|
|
|
The use of high-frequency sound waves to produce an image of an organ or tissue.
|
Ultrasonography
|
|
|
Antepartum fetal assessment test used to assess fetal well being; FHR is monitored for 2 accelerations in 20 minutes; accelerations indicate adequate fetal oxygenation
|
Non-Stress Test (NST)
|
|
|
Diagnostic procedure in which a needle is inserted through the maternal abdominal wall into the uterine cavity to obtain amniotic fluid
|
Amniocentesis
|
|
|
The removal of fetal blood from the umbilical cord for fetal blood sampling; also known as cordocentesis
|
Percutaneous Umbilical Blood Sampling (PUBS)
|
|
|
Aspiration of a small amount of placental tissue (chorion) for chromosomal, metabolic, or DNA testing.
|
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
|
|
|
Tests that help identify a particular disease or provide information which aids in the making of a diagnosis
|
Diagnostic Tests
|
|
|
A test designed to identify those who are NOT affected by a disease or abnormality
|
Screening Test
|
|
|
A glycoprotein produced by the fetus used for assessing the levels of this protein in the maternal blood as a screening tool for certain developmental defects in the fetus such as fetal neural tube defects (NTDs) & ventral abdominal wall defects
|
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
|
|
|
Adds inhibin-A to the triple marker screen to increase detection of trisomy 21 to 80%
|
Quad Screen
|
|
|
A screening test that combines all three chemical markers: 1) Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), 2) human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), 3) Estriol levels; to determine some trisomies & neural tube defects
|
Triple Marker Screen
|
|
|
Assess the rate and volume of blood flow through placenta and umbilical cord vessels using ultrasound
|
Doppler Ultrasound Blood Flow Assessment OR (in book) Umbilical Artery Doppler Flow
|
|
|
A screening tool used to assess fetal well-being with EFM in women with a nonreactive NST at term gestation
|
Contraction Stress Test
|
|
|
A screening tool that uses auditory stimulation (using an artificial larynx) to assess fetal well-being with EFM when NST is non-reactive.
|
Vibroacoustic Stimulation
|
|
|
A screening tool that measures the volume of amniotic fluid with ultrasound to assess fetal well-being and placental function.
|
Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI)
|
|
|
Decreased amounts of amniotic fluid during pregnancy (< 500 mL @ term or 50% reduction of normal amounts)
|
Oligohydramnios
|
|
|
Increased amounts of amniotic fluid (1,500 - 2,000 mL)
|
Polyhydramnios
|
