Used to assess the status of the cervix in determining its response to induction

Bishop score

A temporary organ for fetal respiration, nutrition, and excretion

Placenta

100

a result of lung immaturity, which leads to reduced gas exchange. also called hyaline membrane disease

Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Fluctuation or constant changes in the baseline fetal heart rate above and below the baseline in a 10-minute window

Baseline Variability
