PromptCTG trace - know normal/abnormal
ResponseNormal
HR 100-160, variability >5bpm
No decelerations or early decelerations
Regular uterine contractions
Foetal distress:
HR <100 or >180
Abnormal decelerations - variable, or late (after contraction) and take longer to recover

ResponseDESCRIBE A/B/C
A Baseline heart rate – 138
B Late deceleration
C Uterine contraction
As a rule of thumb:
Contractions = Uterus is OK
FHR = Fetus is OK
