New cards

Early Deceleration

A gradual slowing of the heart rate that mirrors contractions; caused by fetal head compression and is usually normal.

2
New cards

Late Deceleration

Begins after the contraction starts and ends after it finishes; caused by uteroplacental insufficiency and may signal fetal hypoxia.

3
New cards

Variable Deceleration

Abrupt drops in heart rate that vary in timing and shape; usually due to umbilical cord compression and may require monitoring.

4
New cards

Normal Acceleration (Reactive)

An increase of at least 15 bpm for 15 seconds (after 32 weeks gestation) indicates a healthy, well-oxygenated fetus.

For non-reactive deceleration it usually ends up becoming a "?" procedure
