FEATURE DEFINITION
Baselinerate Baselinefetalheartrateisthemeanlevelofthefetalheartratewhenthis is stable, accelerations and decelerations being absent. It isdeterminedoveratimeperiodof5or10minandexpressedinbeatsperminute(bpm)
• Normal=110-160bpm• Tachycardia = not defined in FIGO, defined by RCOG as
Variability Oscillations of fetal heart rate around its mean level (long-termvariability). This is usually only quantitated by description of theamplitude of the oscillations around the baseline heart rate. Underphysiologicalconditionsthefetalbeat-to-beatintervalsareconstantlysubjecttosmallchanges.

Accelerations Transient increase in heart rate of 15 bpm or more and lasting 15secondsormore

Decelerations Transientepisodesof slowingof fetalheart ratebelow thebaselinelevel of more than 15 bpm and lasting 10 seconds or more.DecelerationsarenotdefinedinFIGO,butaredefinedbyRCOG
• Late decelerations = Uniform, repetitive, periodic slowing ofFHRwithonsetmidtoendofthecontractionandnadirmorethan20secondsafterthepeakofthecontractionandendingafter the contraction. In the presence of a non-accelerativetracewithbaselinevariability less than5bpm, thedefinitionwouldincludedecelerationslessthan15bpm

• Variable decelerations = Variable, intermittent periodicslowing of FHR with rapid onset and recovery. Timerelationshipswithcontractioncyclearevariableandtheymayoccurinisolation.

CHAPTEROVERVIEW
Asoutlined inChapter8,21%of thewomen included inour trialwereHIVpositive.
to introduce quality of care audit that decrease perinatal mortality. The use of
umbilical artery lactate is both feasible and effective in South Africa, and can
contributetoimprovedmaternalandperinataloutcomes.
