Answer: The Biophysical Profile (BPP) is an ultrasound that measures breathing, body movement, tone, and amniotic fluid volume.

Explanation:

The BPP is a combination of tests which checks the baby's health based on five fetal biophysical variables:

  • The fetal heart rate (FHR) acceleration through the use of nonstress test (NST).
  • An ultrasound to measure the baby's breathing, body movement and muscle tone, and amount of amniotic fluid protecting the baby.

Each variable gets a score from range 0 to 2 for a maximum score of 10. A score of 6 or less shows altered fetal well-being and need for further assessment. The BPP does not detect neonatal problems,does not screen for neural tube defects, does not involve a needle.
