Nonstress test: Measure the heart rate of the fetus in response to its own movements
Very easy to perform using a doppler.
The definition currently recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics (2007) is:
- Two or more accelerations of FHR
- Occurring within 20 minutes of beginning the test
- Acceleration should peak at 15 bpm or more above baseline
- Should last 15 seconds or more,
Assesses fetal well being.
Accelerations with or without fetal movements be accepted, and that a 40-minute or longer tracing—
to account for fetal sleep cycles—should be performed before concluding that there was insufficient fetal reactivity.
VAS (Vibroacoustic stimualtion): Vibratory sound stimulus to induce FHR accelerations.
Biophysical profile:
Sonography machine and Doppler ultrasound to record fetal heart rate.
Typically, these tests require 30 to 60 minutes of examiner time.
Five biophysical components assessed.
Normal variables are assigned a score of 2 each and abnormal variables, a score of 0.
Thus, the highest score possible for a normal fetus is 10.
Fetal breathing: > 1 episode of rhythmic breathing lasting > 30 sec within 30 min
Amnionic fluid volume: A pocket of amnionic fluid that measures at least 2 cm in two planes perpendicular to each other (2 x 2 cm pocket)
Fetal heart rate acceleration: > 2 accelerations of > 15 beats/min for > 15 sec within 20–40 min
That's all!
