Management:
- Turn patient to left side.
- Administer o2 by tight face mask.
- Correct hypotension.

- If oxytocin used, turn off.
- Infuse rapidly intravenous fluid

. - Expect expeditious delivery if not corrected in 30 min.

5. Variable deceleration:

variable decelerations are irregular, often jagged dips in the fetal heart rate that look more
dramatic than late decelerations.
Causes:

- Intermittent compression of umbilical cord by fetal head.
- Oligo hydrominos.
- Cord between fetus and mother's uterus or pelvic without obvious prolapse.

Management:
- Change maternal position to decrease cord compressive (turn sides to side or knee chest
position).

- Give O2 at 8 – 10 L/min by tight face mask.
- Improve circulating volume.
- Amnion per fusions.
- Monitor for change fetal heart pattern dis continue oxytocin if it being administered.

- Perform vaginal examination to assess for prolapsed cord

6. Prolonged deceleration:

there are isolated deceleration which last longer than 60 – 90 seconds.
Causes:
- Tetanic uterine contractions.

- Placental abruption.
- Umbilical cord prolapse.
- Maternal hypoxia.

Management: - Notify physician or mid wife of first occurrence.
