CARDIAC STABLE
The S.T.A.B.L.E. - Cardiac Module provides general guidelines for the assessment
and stabilization of neonates with suspected, severe forms of congenital heart
disease (CHD). Prompt, effective, and appropriate care of neonates with severe CHD
can reduce secondary organ damage, improve short and long-term outcomes, and
reduce morbidity and mortality. This information is presented in a highly visual
format using an animated PowerPoint® slide presentation, and is divided into three
main sections: Part 1: Physical exam of neonates with suspected CHD and the
differential diagnosis Part 2: Review of the anatomic features, clinical presentation
and initial stabilization of neonates with CHD, and emphasizes differentiation of
cardiac from pulmonary disease. Specific heart lesions are covered in detail. Part 3:
Modifications to the six S.T.A.B.L.E. assessment components that are necessary
when caring for neonates with suspected CHD.

Maternal physiologic changes of pregnancy
Fetal growth and development
Methods of fetal monitoring
Preparation of patient for set-up and initiation of external or internal fetal
monitoring
Obtaining and maintaining tracings that document fetal heart rate and uterine
contractions
Interpretation of uterine contraction frequency, duration, and baseline resting
tone
Identification of the baseline fetal heart rate, variability and deviations
Indicated clinical interventions
Communication and documentation standards

for patients with complex fetal heart monitoring tracings. Course components
include:

Complex case studies that include recommended interventions
Communicating with colleagues
Advanced principles of maternal-fetal physiology

CLASS OBJECTIVES:
1)       Describe physiological principles and fetal oxygen transfer and acid-base
balance.
2)        Identify physiologic principles underlying fetal heart monitoring.
3)        Describe concepts in antenatal testing including analysis and interpretation of
biophysical profiles and complex antenatal fetal heart monitoring tracings.
4)        Relate physiologic principals to the goals and intervention of antenatal testing.
5)        Evaluate interventions for patients undergoing antenatal testing.
6)        Analyze fetal cardiac arrhythmia patterns and describe outcomes associated
with these patterns.
7)        Analyze complex fetal heart monitoring patterns utilizing current NICHD/ACOG
FHM terminology and categories.
8)        Apply perinatal risk management principals, communication techniques and
documentation strategies related to complex and challenging patient care scenarios.

INTENDED AUDIENCE:
This course is designed for clinicians who previously completed the AWHONN
