At 7 participating hospitals, patients with Cat2FHR were prospectively managed by an algorithm (Figure) and grouped based on FHR variability (VAR). Group A had moderate or marked VAR and Group B …

Algorithm for Management of Category 2 EFM (not meant for use with Category 1 or 3 tracings) Based on: Clark. Category II FHRT. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2013.

Appendix Q algorithm for the Management of Intrapartum fetal heart rate tracings B

Given the wide variation of FHR tracings in Category II, this algorithm is not meant to represent assessment and management of all potential FHR tracings, but provide an action template for …

rketal8 proposed a labor manage-ment algorithm for Category II fetal heart rates based mostly on non-NICHD nomenclature. One of the key components of Clark ’s recommendations was a

Aug 5, 2025 · This poster presentation, originally featured at the American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOOG), highlights data suggesting that the Shields algorithm …

Here we propose a management algorithm to identify specific features of the FHR tracing that correlate with risk for fetal acidemia, target interventions to address FHR decelerations, and guide clinicians …

To determine if a standardized intervention process for Category II fetal heart rates (FHRs) with significant decels (SigDecels) would improve neonatal outcome and to determine the impact on …

Feb 27, 2023 · Note: Use of an algorithm, such as the Shields algorithm or Clark algorithm, may help guide management of Category II tracings (see ‘Primary Sources – Learn More’ below)
