Jean,
My DD said that your are correct about one intervention for fetal
distress is to give mom a bolus of iv fluid, to increase her blood
volume and hopefully increase the amount of blood available to perfuse
the placenta, providing more oxygen to the baby. (She's a nursing
student and is next to me studying for her ob final today).
