Question
Answer
What is a normal uterine contraciton   q2-5min, last <90sec, intensity ,100mmHg, 30sec bn, ,5 in 10 min Tachysystole: >5 in 10 min  
🗑
where does the fetus get it's oxygen   uteroplacental exchange, fetal circulation  
🗑
what can decr fetal O2   mom hypertension, hypotension, hypovolemia from hemorrhage, compression of cord  
🗑
how is well being of fetus monitored   FHR in comparison to contraction  
🗑
Nonreassuring FHR patterns are associated with   fetal hypoxemia: low O2 in aa blood...can deteriorate to fetal hypoxia: low O2 at cellular level  
🗑
what are signs of nonreassuring FHR   <110bpm/>160bpm, decels  
🗑
What are two methods for EFM electronic fetal monitoring   external and internal  
🗑
what are external methods of EFM   FHR: ultrasound transducer(below umbilicus) UC: tocotransducer (on fundus)  
🗑
what is internal method of EFM   spiral electrode or (FSE) fetal scalp electrode must be 2cm dilated and (ROM) rupture of membrane  
🗑
What is an (IUPC) intrauterine pressure catheter   measure pressure of uterus  
🗑
What is best FHR pattern   accels and moderate variability  
🗑
what are causes of tachycardia >160 from baseline FHR   fetal hypoxia, infection in amnio, fetal anemia, mom fever, drugs, dehydration  
🗑
what is causes of bradycardia <110 from baseline FHR   late fetal hypoxia, umbilical cord compression, mom hypotension  
🗑
If water breaks what should nurse do   check temp q2h, birth w/in 24hrs  
🗑
what are two types of changes in FHR   periodic: occur with UCs episodic: Not with UCs  
🗑
what defines an accelerated contraction   15 beats high, 15 long and return to baseline  
🗑
what are 4 types of decels   early: response to fetal head compromise late: uteroplacental insufficiency...FIX..occurs after UC variable: umblilical cord compression prolonged: below baseline of 15bm last more than 2 min.  
🗑
what are nursing interventions for decels   change mom position, incr IV fluids, discontinue pitocin, O2(8-10L)  
🗑
what are 5 components to evaluate of an FHR tracing   baseline rate, variability, accels, decels, change or trends in FHR pattern  
🗑
What are interventions for hypotension   incr IV, change to later/Trendelenburg, give ephedrine or phenylephedrine  
🗑
what are interventions of uterine tachysystole   reduce pitocin, give Brethine(relax UC)  
🗑
what are interventions for nonreassuring FHR 2nd stage   use open glottis pushing, not Valsalva fewer pushing shorter pushing efforts push only Q 2nd/3rd contraction push only with urge to push  
🗑
2 factors that effect fetal status   positioning and pushing  
🗑
Interventions for vag bleeding   notify MD anticipate C-section do NOT do vag exam  
🗑
Interventions for infection   cooling measures IV collect urine/amnio sample to lab  
🗑
Interventions for Prolapse Cord   upward pressure on presenting part, relieve compression Trendelenburg/modified Sims' sterile wrap cord w/ NS O2 IV do NOT replace cord prepare for birth  
🗑
what do you monitor for in fetal well being   FHR assessment meconium stained amnio fluid mom vitals and UC activity  
🗑
Interventions for nonreassuring FHR patterns   ID cause fetal O2 mom O2 reduce cord compression  
🗑
Causes of decr variability   fetal sleep cycle, drugs, hypoxia, <32wks gestation  
🗑
Causes of incr variability   early mild hypoxia, fetal stimulation  
🗑
