Fetal Heart Tracing Pattern Evolution Course
Fetal Heart Tracing Pattern Evolution Course is organized by Physicians Insurance - A Mutual Company.
Origination: Aug 2021
Expiration: Dec 2024
Description:
Intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring is an integral part of modern day obstetrics and when properly interpreted, may provide valuable insight into the fetal metabolic state. During labor, the physiologic stress posed by regular uterine contractions and maternal expulsive efforts may adversely impact the fetal acid-base status, leading to changes in the fetal heart rate pattern.
This module aims to review and apply essential FHR content in several clinical scenarios to highlight an important Clinical Pearl: Management of the laboring patient requires that the FHR pattern trends are interpreted in context with the clinical scenario and progress of labor.
Learning Objectives:
• Consistently apply 1997 and 2008 NICHD definitions when describing intrapartum fetal heart rate patterns.
• Identify the importance of FHR variability evolution when assessing the FHR pattern.
• Review the importance of FHR tracing trend assessment when managing the abnormal intrapartum FHR tracing.
• Recognize the importance of clinical scenario, FHR pattern evolution, and stage of labor when managing the Category II tracing in labor.
