Intra-uterine fetal resuscitation

1	Stop oxytocin stimulation	This improves utero placental blood flow and oxygen delivery to the fetus
2	Full lateral position	This prevents supine hypotension syndrome and improves oxygen delivery
3	Oxygen by face masks or nasal prongs	It improves oxygen delivery to the fetus
4	Give intravenous fluid (1 litre crystalloid)	It improves utero placental blood flow and oxygen delivery to the fetus
5	Vasopressor is given (eg ephedrine)	This treats low blood pressure and improves placental blood flow
6	Tocolytic agent is given to stop uterine hyper stimulation	This improves placental blood flow and oxygen delivery
