what is significant about decelarations of FHR?
|
Early decelerations begin and end at the same time as contractions., from increased vagal tone secondary to head compression during a contractoin
Variable decelerations- occur any time and tend to drop precipitously. From umbilical cord compression. Late Decelerations- begin at the peak of a contraction and slowly return to baseline after the contraction has finished. Uteroplacental insufficiency |
|

late, may degrade into bradycardias
|

|
pelvic rest, modified bed rest.
- unstoppable labor, fetal distress, and life-threatening hemorrhage are all indications for immediate cesarean delivery. 70% have rebleed, will need delivery before wk 36. amnio for fetal lung maturity, and delivery by c-section. 1. stabalize the patient- hospitalized, fetal monitoring, IV access. |
