Use of Intrapartum Biophysical Profile When Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring is Non-reassuring in Labor
Lead Sponsor:
The Cooper Health System
Conditions:
Fetal Distress
Eligibility:
FEMALE
14-45 years
Phase:
NA
Brief Summary
In this research project the investigators want to figure out whether ultrasound (a non-invasive method) can be used to assess how the fetus is doing during labor.
Detailed Description
When you are in labor, the heart beat of your fetus is monitored continuously. The normal pattern is reactive and suggests that the fetus is doing well. When the pattern is different from reactive, it...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Spontaneous or induced labor
- Gestational ages between 35 - 42 weeks
- Singleton pregnancy
- Intrapartum non-reassuring or uninterpretable FHR tracing defined as any tracing that the Labor and Delivery obstetrician is uncomfortable about or feels does not absolutely provide fetal reassurance. Inclusive FHR patterns will be repetitive late decelerations, recurrent moderate to severe variable decelerations, reduced long or short-term variability, prolonged bradycardia (\<120/min) that resolves, persistent fetal tachycardia (\>160/min for \>60 min,) or any other FHR patterns necessitating further fetal well being evaluation (like scalp pH or scalp stimulation).
Exclusion
- Multiple gestation
- Gestational age \< 35 weeks
- Patient denial to undergo ultrasound examination during labor
- Abnormal FHR tracing requiring stat delivery
