Biophysical Monitoring

Detailed Biophysical Monitoring

• Biophysical Profile (BPP): A comprehensive test that combines ultrasound and non-stress testing to assess fetal health. The BPP evaluates five key criteria: fetal heart rate reactivity, fetal movements, fetal muscle tone, fetal breathing movements, and the amount of amniotic fluid.

  • Fetal Heart Rate Reactivity: Monitors how the baby’s heart rate responds to movements and contractions, indicating overall heart health.
  • Fetal Movements: Observes the number and quality of fetal movements, which are indicators of the baby’s well-being.
  • Fetal Muscle Tone: Assesses muscle tone through ultrasound, evaluating movements such as limb flexion and extension.
  • Fetal Breathing Movements: Monitors the presence of breathing movements to ensure proper lung development.
  • Amniotic Fluid Volume: Measures the amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby, which is crucial for fetal health and development.

• Non-Stress Test (NST): A test that measures the baby’s heart rate and its variability in response to fetal movements. A healthy, responsive fetal heart rate is a positive sign of fetal well-being.

• Doppler Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to assess blood flow in the umbilical cord and fetal brain, providing additional information about fetal health and placental function.
