  2. Cardiotocography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiotocography

    Cardiotocography sound Schematic explanation of cardiotocography: heart rate (A) is calculated from fetal heart motion determined by ultrasound, and uterine contractions are measured by a tocodynamometer (B). These numbers are represented on a time scale with the help of a running piece of paper, producing a graphical representation.

  3. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ICD-9_codes_630...

    This is a shortened version of the eleventh chapter of the ICD-9: Complications of Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium. It covers ICD codes 630 to 679. The full chapter can be found on pages 355 to 378 of Volume 1, which contains all (sub)categories of the ICD-9. Volume 2 is an alphabetical index of Volume 1.

  5. Biophysical profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophysical_profile

    US: Fetal muscle tone At least one [ 3 ] episode of active extension with return to flexion of fetal limb(s) or trunk, opening and closing of hand considered to be normal tone. Either slow extension with return to partial flexion or movement of limb in full extension or absent fetal movement.

  6. Fetal distress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_distress

    Fetal distress, also known as non-reassuring fetal status, is a condition during pregnancy or labor in which the fetus shows signs of inadequate oxygenation. [1] Due to its imprecision, the term "fetal distress" has fallen out of use in American obstetrics. [2] [1] [3] The term "non-reassuring fetal status" has largely replaced it. [4]

  7. Pinard horn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinard_horn

    A Doppler device detects a heart tone further away from the location of origin. A Pinard horn must be pressed to a location very close to the fetal heart in order to detect it, providing a more accurate indication of fetal position. A doctor, nurse, or midwife can also use palpation and auscultation to determine fetal position. [4]

  8. Doppler fetal monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_fetal_monitor

    The Doppler fetal monitor is commonly referred to simply as a Doppler or fetal Doppler. It may be classified as a form of Doppler ultrasonography (although usually not technically -graphy but rather sound-generating). Doppler fetal monitors provide information about the fetus similar to that provided by a fetal stethoscope. One advantage of the ...

  9. Adaptation to extrauterine life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_to_extrauterine...

    It consists of the assessment of heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability, and generalized skin color. Apgar scoring is performed one minute and five minutes after birth. Scoring ranges from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating severe neonatal distress and 10 indicating a smooth transition to extrauterine life. [1]
