Correct. Tachycardia is certainly not always indicative of fetal distress or hypoxia, but this fetal tracing is very concerning.

Incorrect. Remember, the baseline is the average heart rate rounded to the nearest five bpm. Tachycardia is certainly not always indicative of fetal distress or hypoxia, but this fetal tracing is very concerning. To review baseline heart rate go to, Baseline.

Correct. Minimal variability is usually benign but cannot be ignored in context with late decelerations. Variability is normally blunted (decreased) when the tracing is tachycardic.

Incorrect. The answer is minimal. Minimal variability is usually benign but cannot be ignored in context with late decelerations. Variability is normally blunted (decreased) when the tracing is tachycardic. To review variability go to, Baseline Variability.

Correct. What may appear as accelerations are in fact a return to baseline from the late decelerations.

Correct. Late decelerations are much more concerning when accompanied by decreased variability and/or tachycardia.
