Interpreting test results requires a comprehensive understanding of normal and abnormal parameters:
- NST: A reactive NST is a good sign, showing at least two accelerations in fetal heart rate within 20 minutes. A non-reactive NST requires further evaluation. - BPP: A score of 8-10 is normal, 6 is equivocal, and 4 or below indicates potential distress. - Doppler Studies: Elevated resistance in the umbilical artery can indicate placental insufficiency.
