@lakcampa Fetal scalp sampling, where the scalp is scratched and blood taken for pH analysis, is no longer recommended. But stimulation to observe heart rate change is still done, at least according to my OB colleagues here in Florida.
Wonderful video!! I am a childbirth educator and doula and this was very informative. It got me thinking about something I was just reading. Have you heard of acoustic stimulation? Using a tuning fork instrument and stimulating the abdomen close to baby's head to get a similar response as scalp stimulation. I wonder as a non-medical person if it could be an early test or alternative to more invasive procedures or drugs? Thanks again!!!
They did one of these on me said my little Jayden was healthy when he was born turns out he had passed three weeks prior and they were getting my heart rate
I'm so sorry! That can happen, but shouldn't with the new monitors with stickers that collect the fetal ECG b/c it collects maternal ECG at the same time and it would be noted they are identical.
Thank you for this video. It's absolutely great by explaining EFM in the most rudimentary way.
Thanks was so confused about variable deceleration and variability but this clarifies it.Short and to the point.
Much appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to make and post this. Very useful during my maternity quarter!
Very helpful, thank you!!! You are a great teacher!
Excellent presentation. Thanks for the post!
awesome video really breaking thisng down, I am and RN student and this just put everything in a nut shell for me!!!

Oh hey Michelle! Agreed!
Ashley Wakefield the only downside is that her explanation of category 2 is different from whalen's so I messed that up on the exam
Thank you so much. This was a great help!!! Very much appreciated!!! (Nursing Student)

very well explained, Thank you for this information.
this is rly perfect thank you very much :D
yes, response to acoustic or scalp stimulation suggests fetal pH >7.2. In part has replaced fetal scalp sampling
Great! Thanks for this :)
Ctg simplified....thumbs up!!!
