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.
