What is the motive of the FHR assessment? - ANS•Purpose is to assess and interpret fetal
oxygenation in the course of hard work
What is EFM used for? - ANS•used to continuously verify fetal oxygenation and uterine hobby.
***Who is Intermittant auscultation (IA) used for? - ANS•used for low danger exertions sufferers
with a physician or midwife order
****Intermittent auscultation (IA) - ANS-it would not report contractions most effective fetal HR
sounds
-used if mother doesn't need the continuer FHM on
-•Use Doppler or fetoscope: pay attention with those for a full min
Continuous Electronic Fetal Monitoring - ANS-measures contractions and FHR
-Not supported with the aid of EBP
--Continuous EFM has no impact on toddler mortality and morbidity except reduces neonatal
seizures
Where can uterine contractions be palpated? - ANSgently on the fundus
****Uterine contraction intensity ( subjective) - ANS•Mild or 1+ tip of nostril
•Moderate of +2 chin
•Strong of three+ forehead
, What is cited with contractions? - ANSNote frequency, length, and intensity
What do resting tones experience like btw. Contractions? - ANSsoft or firm
2 styles of EFM - ANS-External
-inner
External EFM - ANS-One is positioned on pinnacle of the fundus with the belt this is referred to

oblique technique so it does not degree the proper depth of contractions
-the ultrasound transducer is located on the bottom of the stomach or cervix and those pick out
up a few ribs like an ultrasound and you may hear the fetal heart rate

***Tocodynamometer(TOCO) - ANSto degree contractions
-Frequency and length.
Internal Electronic Fetal and Uterine Monitoring - ANS-Two pieces placed internally as soon as
membranes have ruptured for extra correct assessment of contractions and FHR.
-May use together or independently.
Fetal scalp electrode (FSE) - ANS- Applied at once to the providing part to measure FHR.
- measures Baseline ,variability, accelerations, decelerations and dysrhythmias
***Intrauterine Pressure Catheter (IUPC) - ANS- Placed at once within the uterine cavity to
measure contractions
-Frequency, period, depth and resting tone (in mm Hg)
