Fetal Heart Monitoring

Prof. Rivera-Mitu led discussions on the interpretation and measurement of fetal heart rate and contractions during labor and delivery, including the significance of variability and the classification of decelerations. She also established a new baseline for the fetal heart rate and emphasized the importance of real-time monitoring of the mother's progress and the baby's well-being. Lastly, she identified potential causes and indicators of fetal distress, highlighting the need for timely interventions if the baby's condition deteriorates.
