ObGyn Fetal Heart Rate Interpretation!
Can someone please give me a brief idea on how to interpret FHR descriptions for e.g.
beat to beat variability,
long term variability,
short term variability.

Which and how much of it is reassuring or alarming?

variability means good thing [ reassurance ]
short term is between 5-25 beats
long term is >2 per min
[ hopefully i m correct]
as of uworld and variabilty, must know these values so that we can know tracing is reassuring or not.
