How to read nonstress test strip?

Published

Could you please help me to read nonstress test strip to define reactive or nonreactive?

You need to look for the FHR to go up 15 beats ( beyond the baseline) for 15 seconds twice within 20min. If not, they usually stay on the monitor for another 20minutes. That is a reactive stress test which is good. If there are no accels or only 1 15 second accel I belive that is non reactive.

Thank you Anne36.
