In cases where one test raises the possibility that a pregnancy is high-risk, multiple tests of fetal well-being should be considered if time allows, along with the patient's overall clinical history, to determine the appropriateness of intervention.
The BPP reflects one standardised strategy by which tests of fetal well-being have been packaged to permit a more comprehensive assessment of fetal well-being.
As with management of pre-gestational diabetes, intensive management of gestational diabetes includes glucose monitoring, dietary regulation, and tests of fetal well-being.
Fetal heart rate patterns are a principal component of the majority of tests of fetal well-being, and cardiotocography, where it is available, is the method frequently used to electronically record the fetal heart rate.
Currently, DU velocimetry of uteroplacental, umbilical and fetal vessels has become established method of antenatal monitoring, allowing the non-invasive assessment of fetal circulation [ 2] and its indices provide important information on the haemodynamics of the vascular area under study [ 3] that were not readily obtained from more conventional tests of fetal well-being [ 4, 5].
Because pre-gestational diabetes is a known risk factor for stillbirth, women with this condition are usually offered intensive surveillance and management during pregnancy, which may include glycaemic control efforts through diet, exercise, and/or insulin therapy with glucose monitoring, frequent fetal surveillance using tests of fetal well-being, and/or induction at or before term.
Kristin Brethel-Haurwitz and Abigail Marsh wanted to test an idea -- called the "engine model" of well-being -- which basically says that people become kind and generous when their own lives are going well.
We tested the matrix model where each SMA is linked to the dimensions of well-being.
We would create stories of well-being.
Energy intensity of well-being.
