I would be rather careful. What is going to happen with the mother? The risk is to induce then a maternal tachycardia with possible other related dangerous conseguences.Cases of persistent (till 90 min) fetal tachycardia have been described. On the other hand, giving atrhopine means treating the symptom (bradycardia) and not,as you said,the underlying problem ( decreased fetal oxygenation).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
