These methods may be based on endocrine markers in maternal serum, Doppler-ultrasound-based continuous fetal heart rate monitoring, and real-time ultrasound evaluation of fetal biophysical variables and amniotic fluid volume.Fetal biophysical profile score: a score derived from observation of 4 discrete dynamic fetal biophysical variables (heart rate acceleration in response to fetal movement [nonstress test or NST], fetal breathing, gross body movement, tone) and one static variable (amniotic fluid volume). The score can range from 10/10 (all variables normal) to 0/10 (all variables abnormal). The method is highly accurate in differentiating healthy from compromised fetuses.Perinatal asphyxia: a collective term describing the fetus, who in response to exposure to either hypoxia or ischemia, exhibits hypoxemia and a metabolic academia (abnormal base deficit). Perinatal asphyxia may be acute or chronic. The fetal adaptive response to perinatal asphyxia forms the basis for the evaluation of fetal dynamic biophysical variables and amniotic fluid volume. Perinatal asphyxia is a recognized cause of perinatal death and morbidities such as cerebral palsy among affected surviving perinates.
