Cardiotocography is used to monitor fetal heart rate. Decreased movement felt by the mother; Meconium in the amniotic fluid ("meconium stained fluid") Non-reassuring patterns seen on cardiotocography: increased or decreased fetal heart rate (tachycardia and bradycardia), especially during and after a contraction; decreased variability in the ...
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.
A contraction stress test (CST) is performed near the end of pregnancy (34 weeks' gestation) to determine how well the fetus will cope with the contractions of childbirth.The aim is to induce contractions and monitor the fetus to check for heart rate abnormalities using a cardiotocograph.
