About the application:

This apk is intended for obstetricians, midwives, and nurses who use electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) in laboring patients. In addition to interpreting fetal heart rate (FHR) tracings, health care specialists must communicate with each another about the tracings in a method that is understood by all parties, and decide what action to take. FHR 5-tier is based on the five-color system developed by Drs. Julian Parer and Tomoaki Ikeda. (AJOG July 2007) The intent of their system is to standardize management of various fetal heart rate tracings. The system divides all fetal heart rate tracings into one of five categories: Green (no acidemia, no intervention needed), Blue, Yellow, Orange or Red (evidence of actual or impending fetal asphyxia, rapid delivery suggested). Each color has assigned to it a: a) risk of acidemia, b) risk of evolution to a more serious pattern and c) suggested action. The NICHD three-tier system of classifying fetal heart rate (FHR) tracings has been criticized for having too wide a range of tracings in “Category II”. Some researchers and clinicians trust that the five-tier color-coded system more effectively classifies EFM tracings. The five-tier system is being adopted by an increasing number of hospitals in the U.S. and in Japan. FHR 5-tier makes it easier to use the five-color system. Without the FHR 5-tier apk, one must refer to a table with 134 possible combinations of variability, baseline, and decelerations. One must also either memorize or refer to the definitions for mild, moderate and severe decelerations, which are complex and sometimes confusing. When using the FHR 5-tier apk it is not important to refer to any another table or chart. Variability and baseline, and the shape, nadir, and duration of decelerations are entered with buttons on the consecutive screens. The apk calculates the severity of the deceleration and the color for each tracing. All aspects of the tracing are summarized on the colourful results screen, so that the player can quickly communicate with others. Management suggestions as outlined by Parer and Ikeda are given. These contain whether or not the obstetrician needs to be at the bedside; what another personnel could be accessible; and whether the patient could be moved to the operating room. In addition, conservative management techniques are listed where appropriate. Thus, for Blue, Yellow, and Orange tracings, the final results screen reminds the player to consider actions such as maternal position change, decreasing oxytocin, or amnioinfusion. As noted by Parer and Ikeda, the rules for management may need to be modified for institutions another then theirs, and may even change depending on time of day. The NICHD Category (I, II, III) is also given on the results screen. This application is intended as a reference program for use only by licensed healthcare specialists.
