Bradycardia is defined as a heart rate below the normal range for age (table 1). Bradycardia is caused by intrinsic dysfunction or injury to the heart's conduction system or by extrinsic factors acting on a normal heart and its conduction system. Children who have bradycardia with poor perfusion or shock need immediate medical attention (algorithm 1).
Fetal bradycardia is defined as a baseline heart rate less than 120 bpm. Bradycardia in the range of 100 to 120 bpm with normal variability is not associated with fetal acidosis. Bradycardia of this degree is common in post-date gestations and in fetuses with occiput posterior or transverse presentations.Small square = 10 seconds; large square = one minute). Interpretation of the FHR variability from an external tracing appears to be more reliable when a second-generation fetal monitor is used than when a first-generation monitor is used.
