1. Decelerations are common is all labors but the nature of these
decelerations in the third panel and the marked variability set them apart from the first panel
In the third panel every contraction is producing a decel and each decel is larger and deeper that its preceding one. Give the known natural history of uterine rupture and it propensity for causing rapid deterioration, this deceleration pattern should not be tolerated
STRIP 79
1. There is a short portion with less variability and possibility a sinusoidal pattern. However at the end of it there are two accelerations. Given the benign association between Nisentil and sinusoidal, and the presence of these two accelerations this pattern does not warrant intervention and continued observation is very acceptable at time.
STRIP 88
1. 20 minutes later after conservative interventions and during the move to the OR. baseline 140 bpm, moderate variability with no accelerations. No further prolonged decelerations, however there are intermittent variable decelerations occurring on average after every 3rd contraction since the prolonged deceleration. The nadir is at 85 bpm lasting 30 sec. Contractions are every 3 mins.
STRIP 93
1. 1 hour later. baseline 125 bpm, min variability with no accelerations and 2 late decelerations noted over the last 20 mins. The nadir is 10 bpm below the baseline. Contractions are every 3 mins.
In these illustrations, make sure we have more than 2 contractions. Maybe have 8 contractions and 2 with late decels. Need minimal to some variability here.
