In the Manning scoring system of biophysical profile for fetal monitoring, which parameter is not included:: (A) Fetal tone, (B) Fetal gross body movements, (C) Oxytocin challenge test, (D) Non stress test
Answer is C. Ans is 'c' i.e. Oxytocin Challenge test Manning's biophysical profile is made up of 5 componentsReactive non stress testFetal breathing movementFetal gross body movementFetal muscle toneAmniotic fluid volumeComponents and their scores for the biophysical profileComponentScore 2Score 0Non stress test2 accelerations of15 beats/min for15 sec in 2-40 min0 or 1 acceleration in 2-40 minutesFetal breathing>1 episode of rhythmic breathing lasting > 30 second within 30min< 30 second of breathing 30 minFetal movement> 3 discrete body or limb movements within 30 minutes< 3 discrete movementsFetal tone> 1 episode of extension of a fetal extremity with return to flexion, or opening or closing of hand within 30 minuteNo movements or no extension/ flexionAmniotic fluid volumesingle vertical pocket > 2 cmLargest single vertical pocket < 2 cmA normal observation is given a score of 2, abnormal observation is given a score of 0.In the absence of oligohydramnios, a score of 8 or 10 is normal, a score of 6 is equivocal and a score of 4 or less is abnormal
