What is fetal monitoring?
Fetal monitoring is a process in which the baby's heart rate is monitored for indicators of stress during labor and birth.
What is a normal fetal oxygen saturation?
A normal fetal oxygen saturation is typically around 95-100%. Any levels lower than this may indicate fetal distress or hypoxia. Monitoring fetal oxygen saturation is an important part of assessing the well-being of the fetus during pregnancy and labor.
What is Electronic fetal monitoring done for?
Specific reasons for EFM include: babies in a breech position, premature labor, and induced labor, among others
Which does not occur during a typical labor?
Fetal heartbeat stopping.
What is the most common fetal presentation during labor and delivery?
The most common fetal presentation during labor and delivery is the cephalic presentation, where the baby's head is positioned to come out first.
During labor can the nurse insert an electronic fetal monitoring and a spiral electrode on the baby. one to monitor the heart and the other fetal stethoscope?
AWHONN (Association of Women's Health, Obstetrics and Neonatal Nurses) certified and trained Labor and Delivery nurses can place internal fetal monitors for the fetus and to monitor contractions. It is dependent on the need and individual state nurse practice acts and the institutional policies.
How are maternal to fetal infections passed?
Maternal to fetal infections are transmitted from the mother to her fetus, either across the placenta during fetal development (prenatal) or during labor and passage through the birth canal (perinatal).
How can oxygen deprivation of fetuses be determined?
Oxygen deprivation in fetuses can be determined by monitoring the fetal heart rate patterns using electronic fetal monitoring. This can be done during labor and delivery to assess the oxygen supply to the fetus. Other signs such as decreased fetal activity or low oxygen levels in the mother's blood may also indicate oxygen deprivation in the fetus.
What is the relationship between the feta head and the maternal pelvis onset and during labor?
The feta head, or fetal vertex, plays a crucial role in the process of labor as it engages with the maternal pelvis. During the onset of labor, the fetal head descends into the pelvic inlet, which helps in determining the position and orientation of the fetus. Proper alignment of the fetal head with the pelvic cavity can facilitate effective contractions and dilation of the cervix, ultimately aiding in the delivery process. Anomalies in this relationship can lead to complications, such as prolonged labor or the need for interventions.
What are the tips to avoid Cesarean during last phrase of pregnancy?
A Caesarean is necessary when there are labor complications like dystocia or fetal distress. They are usually unavoidable if the labor becomes complicated
Internal rotation in mechanism of labor?
Internal rotation happens after flexion of the fetal head during labor. The fetus will turn its head either to look straight up or down.
What are some common causes of fetal distress during labor?
Fetal distress is often related to abnormalities in the position of the fetus, or abnormalities in the birth canal, causing reduced blood flow through the placenta.
