What Interventions are Used for Abnormal Fetal Heart Rate?
Interventions for abnormal FHR patterns may include: - Maternal Position Change: Repositioning the mother to improve uteroplacental blood flow. - Oxygen Administration: Providing oxygen to the mother to enhance fetal oxygenation. - Intravenous Fluids: Increasing maternal hydration to improve blood flow to the fetus. - Medication: Administering medications to address underlying causes such as uterine hyperstimulation. - Emergency Delivery: In severe cases, an expedited delivery may be necessary, often via cesarean section.
