Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring in Labor Explained | CTG, Variability, Decelerations | BSc & GNM Nursing

Описание: Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring in Labor Explained | CTG, Variability, Decelerations | BSc & GNM Nursing

Welcome to “Nursing with Shahjahan Ma’am”!
In this video, we will learn Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) Monitoring in Labor in a very simple and clear way so that every nursing student—BSc Nursing, GNM, PB BSc & MSc Nursing—can understand easily and score full marks in exams and viva.

Fetal heart rate monitoring is one of the most important topics in Obstetrics & Gynecology nursing (OBG). During labor, continuous monitoring of the fetal heart helps identify whether the baby is getting enough oxygen or facing distress. As future nurses, it is our responsibility to ensure safe delivery and healthy baby outcomes.
