FETAL DISTRESS

PREVENTION

Prompt diagnosis and remedial treatment are critical to the prevention of birth injuries from fetal distress. Fetal Heart Monitoring can identify a fetus in distress. Bradycardia (slow heart beat), tachycardia (rapid heart beat), and decelerations associated with contraction can be identified by the fetal heart monitor. Once distress is detected further testing can determine the specific cause of the distress and allow remedial action before harm occurs.
