What Are the Signs of Compromised Fetal Oxygenation?
Healthcare providers monitor several indicators to assess fetal oxygenation:
- Fetal Heart Rate: Abnormal heart rate patterns detected through fetal heart rate monitoring can signal distress. - Reduced Fetal Movements: A decrease in fetal activity may indicate hypoxia. - Biophysical Profile: This ultrasound-based assessment includes fetal breathing, movements, muscle tone, and amniotic fluid volume.
