► THIS VIDEO will guide you through understanding the different types of fetal heart rate decelerations seen on a fetal monitor. In the first section, we explore early decelerations, characterized by a gradual decrease and return to baseline of the fetal heart rate that mirrors uterine contractions. We discuss how these decelerations start with the onset of a contraction and reach their lowest point at the peak, then recover as the contraction ends. Early decelerations are usually a sign of head compression during labor, which is a normal physiological response. 🩺👶

Next, we dive into late decelerations, which appear as a delayed decrease in fetal heart rate that starts after the peak of the contraction and recovers after the contraction ends. This section emphasizes how late decelerations can indicate poor oxygenation or insufficient blood flow between the placenta and the baby. We highlight the importance of recognizing this pattern as a potential sign of fetal distress that may require intervention. ⚠️🫁

In the final part of the video, we cover variable decelerations, which are sudden and rapid drops in fetal heart rate, often caused by umbilical cord compression. Unlike early and late decelerations, variable decelerations can occur with or without contractions and are characterized by their quick onset and recovery. We explain how these decelerations can result from the baby's movements or the cord being wrapped around the neck, and why it's crucial to monitor these patterns closely. 🔍🩸

Throughout the video, we provide clear visuals and step-by-step explanations to help you identify and differentiate between these deceleration patterns. By the end of this video, you'll have a solid understanding of fetal heart rate monitoring and be better prepared to assess fetal well-being during labor.
