Fetus at Risk for Metabolic Acidemia

Class,
I am posting part 2 of the video on fetal heart rate monitoring. This is a seven and one half minute video that discusses the importance of intervention when fetal bradycardia occurs. The longer the delay in delivery when bradycardia occurs the more chance for an infant to be born with a metabolic acidemic. There is an increase risk for severe fetal injury the longer there is a delay to delivery.

Please post your questions and remarks after viewing the video.
