Late decelerations are caused by uteroplacental insufficiency and are associated with fetal hypoxemia.They are considered ominous if persistent and uncorrected.Accelerations in the FHR are an indication of fetal well-being.Early decelerations in the FHR are associated with head compression as the fetus descends into the maternal pelvic outlet; they generally are not a concern during normal labor.
