    NST and CTG

    This document discusses NST (non-stress test) and CTG (cardiotocography) for monitoring fetal heart rate and uterine contractions. It provides details on interpreting a CTG tracing, including describing the baseline fetal heart rate, variability, presence of accelerations or decelerations. A normal CTG pattern shows a heart rate of 110-160 bpm with variability of 5-16 bpm and at least two accelerations in response to movement over 20 minutes with no late or variable decelerations. Early decelerations coincide with contractions while late decelerations persist beyond contractions.

    NST AND CTG

    NST done in antenatal period, which shows FHR acceleration with foetal movement and no uter.
    contraction (Fig. 16.45).
    Interpretation of a CTG tracing requires description of the following:
    Baseline FHR
    Beat-to-beat FHR variability
    Presence of accelerations
    Periodic or episodic decelerations
    Changes or trends of FHR patterns over time
    Uterine activity (contractions)
    Normal pattern trace (Fig. 16.46):
    Baseline rate 110-160 beats/min, with normal beat-to-beat
    variability of 5-16 beats/min. two
    more accelerations of 16 beats/min
    lasting for 16 s in response to a foetal movement over a period
    20 min
    Absence of late or variable decelerations
    Variable deceleration: deceleration is independent of uterine contraction, it
    may be due to co
    compression and may relieved by change in position.
    Early deceleration (Fig. 16.47): deceleration coincides with uterine contraction and FHR returns i
    7omal when contraction
    passes off. It can be due to head compression during labour.
    Late deceleration-beat to beat variability present and late deceleration present beyond uterim
    contraction (Fig. 16.48).
