2. Nonstress test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonstress_test

   A normal nonstress test will show a baseline fetal heart rate between 110 and 160 beats per minute with moderate variability (5- to 25-interbeat variability) and 2 qualifying accelerations in 20 minutes with no decelerations. "Reactive" is defined as the presence of two or more fetal heart rate accelerations within a 20-minute period. Each ...

3. Contraction stress test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraction_stress_test

   During uterine contractions, fetal oxygenation is worsened. Late decelerations in fetal heart rate occurring during uterine contractions are associated with increased fetal death rate, growth retardation and neonatal depression. [1] [2] This test assesses fetal heart rate in response to uterine contractions via electronic fetal monitoring.

4. Doppler fetal monitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_fetal_monitor

   A Doppler fetal monitor, informally known as sonicaid (generic trademark), is a hand-held ultrasound transducer used to detect the fetal heartbeat for prenatal care. It uses the Doppler effect to provide an audible simulation of the heart beat. Some models also display the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). Use of this monitor is sometimes ...

5. Cardiotocography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiotocography

   External cardiotocography can be used for continuous or intermittent monitoring. The fetal heart rate and the activity of the uterine muscle are detected by two transducers placed on the mother's abdomen, with one above the fetal heart to monitor heart rate, and the other at the fundus of the uterus

6. Doppler ultrasonography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_ultrasonography

   Doppler fetal monitors, although usually not technically -graphy but rather sound-generating, use the Doppler effect to detect the fetal heartbeat for prenatal care. These are hand-held, and some models also display the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). Use of this monitor is sometimes known as Doppler auscultation.

7. Vibroacoustic stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibroacoustic_stimulation

   The presence of FHR accelerations reliably predicts the absence of fetal metabolic acidemia. Vibroacoustic stimulation is typically used during a nonstress test (NST). [1] [2] In 2013, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews concluded that there was insufficient evidence from randomized trials to support its use to assess fetal well-being ...

9. Cardiac monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_monitoring

   Cardiac monitoring generally refers to continuous or intermittent monitoring of heart activity to assess a patient's condition relative to their cardiac rhythm. Cardiac monitoring is usually carried out using electrocardiography , which is a noninvasive process that records the heart's electrical activity and displays it in an electrocardiogram ...
