Across
  1. 2. This fetal heart rate category may indicate intrauterine resuscitative measures are necessary
  2. 5. This can be placed in the uterus to evaluate the exact strength of contractions
  3. 7. This is measured from the beginning of a contraction to the end of the same contraction and is recorded in seconds
  4. 8. This fetal heart rate category has a normal fetal heart rate baseline with moderate variability and no late or variable decelerations
  5. 10. This is determined by palpating the abdomen during a contraction and comparing it to facial features
  6. 14. The term for a fetal heart rate baseline greater than 160 bpm
  7. 15. The term for the average fetal heart rate
  8. 16. The type of variability that has an undetectable range
  9. 17. This can be placed on the fetal scalp to evaluate fetal heart rate
  10. 18. The type of deceleration caused by placental insufficiency and requires resuscitative measures
  11. 20. The type of deceleration in which the heart rate decreases by at least 15 bpm and lasts for 2-10 minutes
  12. 21. The term for a fetal heart rate baseline less than 110 bpm
  13. 22. The term for 6 or more contraction in a 10 minute period
Down
  1. 1. The first resuscitative intervention to do when fetal heart rate baseline is abnormal is to change the maternal ____________
  2. 3. The type of variability that has a range of 6-10 bpm and shows the fetus has good oxygen reserves
  3. 4. A smooth undulating fetal heart rate pattern with a frequency of 3-5 bpm and is a sign of severe fetal distress, severe fetal anemia, and frequently indicates a fetus that is incompatible with life
  4. 6. The type of deceleration that is due to cord compression and is the most common type of deceleration
  5. 9. this fetal heart rate category requires immediate resuscitative measures and notification of the healthcare provider
  6. 11. The type of deceleration that is due to head compression and does not require any resuscitative measures
  7. 12. An increase in the fetal heart rate of at least 15 bpm and lasts at least 15 seconds
  8. 13. The type of variability that has a range of less than 5 bpm
  9. 19. The beat-to-beat changes in the fetal heart rate
