What is the physiology of the parasympathetic nervous system (Where does it originate, what does it release, which cranial nerve is under this) What is the effect on the FHR? How does gestational age influence this? How does this influence variability? What blocks the parasympathetic system, thu...

Terbutaline - The m...

Why use fetal monitoring? - Primary goal is to prevent fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality (prevent injury and death to mother and/ or baby), to prevent bad patient outcomes. What percent of babies who experience a suboptimal event while being fetal monitored, develop cerebral palsy? - 3% ...
