Fetal heart rate of 170 beats per minute may be a transient change or a condition caused by intrauterine distress, which may be treated with oxygen and, if necessary, termination of pregnancy.
During pregnancy, if the umbilical cord of the fetus is compressed by the body, it may cause fetal heart rate of 170 beats per minute. After appropriate activities, the pressure on the umbilical cord will be relieved, and oxygen treatment may also be performed, and the fetal heart rate may return to normal.
If the fetus is affected by various pathogenic factors appear intrauterine hypoxia, intrauterine distress, may cause fetal heart to reach 170 beats/minute. If oxygen is not relieved, the pregnancy may need to be terminated promptly to avoid intrauterine fetal death.
Fetal heart rate of 170 beats per minute needs to be treated under the guidance of a professional obstetrician and gynecologist, who will choose the appropriate treatment plan according to the specific condition.
