All of the following are pa of manning criteria except:: (A) Nonstress test, (B) Fetal body movement, (C) Vibroacoustic movement, (D) Fetal respiratory movement
Answer is C. VIBROACOUSTIC STIMULATION In this, an aificial sound producing device is kept on the maternal abdomen which emits a sound for several seconds. If there is a non reassuring pattern during a cardiotocographic monitoring, then this test may help in providing fetal well being. The resultant stale reflex in the fetus and subsequent fetal hea rate acceleration following vibroacoustic stimulation provides assurance of fetal well-being.
