#87 Understanding Fetal Oxygenation & Hypoxia in Labor

In this episode of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah and Justine unpack the fetal oxygen pathway, from maternal lungs to the fetus and why it’s foundational to everything we see on our fetal monitors. If you’ve ever wondered how oxygenation impacts heart rate patterns, variability, decelerations, or why tachysystole matters, this conversation connects the pathophysiology to your practice. Justine and Sarah drop clinical gems and challenge the normalization of tachysystole. Let us know what you think. Thanks for listening and subscribing!
