    Office nonstress testing effectively manages high-risk pregnancies. Reactive nonstress tests indicate fetal well-being, while nonreactive results predict complications requiring intervention.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Fetal Monitoring

    Background:

    • High-risk pregnancies require vigilant fetal surveillance.
    • Nonstress testing (NST) is a key tool for assessing fetal well-being.
    • Evaluating NST feasibility in outpatient settings is crucial for accessibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy of nonstress testing in a physician's office for managing high-risk pregnancies.
    • To determine the correlation between nonstress test results and intrapartum fetal outcomes.
    • To validate the use of office-based nonstress testing protocols.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted 1,485 office nonstress tests on 713 high-risk patients (32-43 weeks' gestation).
    • Utilized contraction stress tests (CST) in-hospital when indicated.

  • Analyzed nonstress test results within one week of delivery for 485 patients.

    • Main Results:

    • 97% of nonstress tests performed within a week of delivery were reactive.
    • Only 2% of nonstress tests were nonreactive.
    • Nonreactive nonstress tests significantly correlated with abnormal fetal heart rate patterns and intrapartum fetal distress, often necessitating cesarean delivery.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonstress testing can be successfully implemented in a physician's office for high-risk pregnancies.
    • Office-based nonstress testing, with strict protocol adherence, aids in the management of at-risk fetuses.
    • Nonreactive nonstress tests serve as a critical indicator for closer fetal surveillance and timely intervention.
