Across
  1. 3. Contractions occurring less than 2 minutes apart, more than 5 in 10 minutes, or lasting longer than 90 seconds.
  2. 5. The fluctuations or variations in the fetal heart rate around the baseline.
  3. 6. Temporary decrease in the fetal heart rate (FHR) that decreases abruptly and also abruptly returns to baseline, creating a "V" shape. May or may not be associated with the timing of a contraction. Associated with umbilical cord compression. __?__ deceleration.
  4. 8. Fetal heart rate (FHR) variability with amplitude of 5 bpm or less. May or may not be concerning.
  5. 11. Timing of contraction from beginning of the contraction to the end.
  6. 13. Temporary decrease in the fetal heart rate (FHR) below the baseline that gradually declines and mirrors the contraction. Caused by head compression. ___?__ deceleration.
  7. 15. Time between when one contraction ends and the next contraction begins. Should be at least 1 minute.
  8. 17. The average heart rate of the fetus over a 10 minute period, typically between 110 - 160 bpm.
  9. 18. Fetal heart rate baseline greater than 160 bpm.
Down
  1. 1. Primary concern when late decelerations are occurring.
  2. 2. Fetal heart rate variability with amplitude between 6-25 bpm. A sign of oxygenation in the fetus.
  3. 4. Temporary increases in the fetal heart rate (FHR) above the baseline, often associated with oxygenation, indicating fetal well-being. If greater than 32 weeks gestation, must be at least 15 beats above the baseline and last for at least 15 seconds.
  4. 7. Fetal heart rate baseline below 110 bpm.
  5. 9. Decrease in fetal heart rate (FHR) more than 15 beats below the baseline that lasts longer than 2 minutes but less than 10 minutes. __?__ deceleration.
  6. 10. Timing from the beginning of one contraction to the beginning of the next contraction.
  7. 12. Test that monitors fetal heart rate (FHT) over a period of at least 20 minutes. Must have baseline between 110-160 bpm, moderate variability, no decelerations, and at least 2 accelerations to be considered reactive and reassuring.
  8. 14. First intervention for abnormal fetal heart variations (late and variable decelerations).
  9. 16. Temporary decrease in the fetal heart rate (FHR) that gradually declines after the onset of a contraction and does not return to baseline until after the contraction has ended. Considered a sign of placental (or uteroplacental) insufficiency. __?__ deceleration.
