Repositioning the mother,increasing IV fluid,and preforming a vaginal examination are correct nursing actions for intrauterine resuscitation.The nurse should initiate intrauterine resuscitation in a compression,airway,breathing (CAB)manner,similar to basic life support.The first priority is to open the maternal and fetal vascular systems by repositioning the mother for improved perfusion.The second priority is to increase blood volume by increasing the IV fluid.The third priority is to perform a vaginal examination to assess progress in labour or relieve pressure of the presenting part on the cord.Administration of oxygen (8 to 10 L/min)by mask can be considered,although there is little evidence to evaluate its effectiveness when used in the management of suspected fetal compromise.If these interventions do not resolve the fetal heart rate issue quickly,the primary health care provider should be notified immediately.
