How Are Decelerations Managed?

Management of decelerations depends on their type and underlying cause. For benign early decelerations, no specific intervention is needed. Variable decelerations may be managed by changing the mother's position, providing oxygen, or administering intravenous fluids to improve umbilical cord blood flow. In cases of severe or repetitive variable decelerations, an emergency cesarean section may be necessary. Late decelerations often require immediate intervention, such as oxygen administration, maternal position changes, or expedited delivery to ensure fetal well-being.
