Biophysical Profile (BPP)
Biophysical Profile (Manning 1980): fetal breathing, fetal movements, fetal tone, amniotic fluid volume, and a reactive non-stress test each score 0 or 2; total 0-10 (8-10 normal, 6 equivocal, <= 4 abnormal).

Example
- Fetal breathing movements present
- Yes
- Fetal movements present
- Yes
- Fetal tone present
- Yes
- Adequate amniotic fluid volume
- Yes
- Reactive non-stress test
- Yes
Result: BPP 10 of 10: normal per Manning 1980 (8-10 band).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- 8-10
- Normal per Manning 1980; routine follow-up.
- 6
- Equivocal per Manning 1980; repeat in 24 h or further evaluation.
- <=4
- Abnormal per Manning 1980; consider delivery per ACOG Practice Bulletin 145, 2014.
What you enter
- Fetal breathing movements present (2)
- Fetal movements present (2)
