Biophysical table

The biophysical profile uses ultrasound and cardiotocography (CTG) , also known electronic fetal heart rate monitoring , to examine the fetus.
There are five components measured during the biophysical examination.
A score of 2 points is given for each component that meets criteria as listed in the table below.

Delivery is usually indicated.
Pregnancies at less than 32 0/7 weeks of gestation, management should be individualized, and extended monitoring may be appropriate.
Some testing centers use a modified biophysical profile [4,5].
The modified BPP consists of the nonstress test (NST) and an amniotic fluid volume assessment.
