Progestins inhibit further endometrial growth, CONVERTING THE PROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM TO SECRETORY ENDOMETRIUM.

(Patients with anovulatory bleeding have predominantly proliferative endometrium from unopposed stimulation by estrogen. Progestins inhibit further endometrial growth, converting the proliferative to secretory endometrium. Withdrawal of the progestin then mimics the effect of the involution of the corpus luteum, creating a normal sloughing of the endometrium. Stimulation of rapid endometrial growth, conversion of proliferative to secretory endometrium, and regeneration of the functional layer describe effects of estrogen on the endometrium. Inhibin is increased in the luteal phase.)

(V-C, E-H, A-O, L-P)

Variable decels--Cord compression (nuchalcord, oligohyd)

Early decels -- Head compression

Accelerations -- Oxygenation

Late decels -- Placental insufficiency (uteroplacental)

VARIABLE--Unlike early and late decelerations, variable decelerations are not gradual. This works to your advantage, as their relative ABRUPTness makes them easy to pick out in a monitoring strip.

EARLY--The “early” in “early deceleration” refers to the lowest point of the deceleration occurring at the same time as the peak of the contraction (MIRRORs contraction). They are a result of increased vagal tone secondary to head compression and are generally benign when they occur during the 1st or 2nd stage of labor – but they can be a sign of cephalopelvic disproportion if they persist.

LATE--The “Late” in “Late decelerations” refers to the lowest point of the deceleration occurring after the peak of the contraction. Maternal contractions constrict the placental blood supply, thereby limiting the fetus’ blood supply to what’s already stored in the placental reserve. In the case of uteroplacental insufficiency, this lack of oxygen results in a deceleration which occurs as a result of (i.e. after) the contraction.
➜What does the Oxytocin challenge test (Contraction stress test) assess for?

➜Which is normal/good: positive or negative?
➜Contraction stress test assesses uteroplacental insufficiency and looks for persistent late decelerations after contractions (3/10 minutes);
