Fetal Heart Rate
Influences on Fetal Heart Rate Control
Physiology | Effect on Fetal Heart Rate |
---|---|
Parasympathetic Nervous System | Slow FHR |
Sympathetic Nervous System | Increases FHR |
Intermittent fetal hypoxemia causes_________. | Increase in FHR or brief tachycardia |
CO=HR x SV Heart rate x stroke volume | Formula for adult cardiac output |
Baroreceptors | Detect changes in arterial blood pressure |
Fetal cardiac output depends on ________. | Heart Rate |
Increase in arterial blood pressure | Abrupt decrease in FHR, CO and BP |
Increased PCO2 stimulates | Chemoreceptors to slow FHR |
Head compression | Early Deceleration |
Cord compression | Variable Deceleration |
Utero placental insufficiency | Late Deceleration |
Anemia | Sinusoidal Pattern |
Awesome Participants | |
Renin-angiotensin system | Maintains umbilical placental blood flow |
Prostaglandins | Regulation of umbilical blood flow Maintains patency of fetal ductus arteriosus |
Quiet sleep | Responds to vibroacoustic stimulation |
Definition of quiescence | Occasional brief body movements |
Active (REM) sleep | Reactive NST |
Absent REM | Non-Reactive NST |
Preterm | Heart rates are faster, decrease variability |
Circulation time from fetal-placental site to chemoreceptors. | Decelerations |
