Activity Description

Prenatal non-stress test, popularly known as NST, is a method used to test fetal wellbeing before the onset of labor. A prenatal non-stress test functions in overall antepartum surveillance with ultrasound as a part or component of the biophysical profile. The presence of fetal movements and fetal heart rate acceleration is the most critical feature of the non-stress test. It is a non-invasive test used for the surveillance of high-risk pregnancies when the fetus is judged clinically to be at risk for hypoxemia or increased risk of death. This activity reviews the prenatal non stress test, its indications, clinical relevance, and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the management of the pregnant patient.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians.

  • Describe how a perenatal non-stress test is conducted.

This was atrocious. The article was riddled with poor grammar, was so repetitive it plagiarized itself, and didn't include a bulk of the important information that was quizzed in the assessment. I have never participated in such a horrendous CME activity. This is embarrassing.
