Clinical significance of fetal heart rate patterns during labor

摘要: Among a large series of high-risk patients who had direct electronic monitoring, 330 fetuses presented "variable" decelerations and 598 no decelerations. those with variable decelerations, there were 18 such associated fetal heart rate (FHR) alterations as tachycardia, fixed baseline, slow recovery ("hypoxic components"). The outcome, well the characteristics FHR patterns, compared among three groups. Baseline changes significantly higher pure still having hypoxic components. Likewise, one- five-minute Apgar scores lower in that order. Only 4 per cent clinical distress while 23 78 components distress. Neonatal death was groups Premature rupture membranes seemed to be only clearly different (and probably influencing) condition, being group Variable ("cord patterns") are relatively high depressed infants. This problem is much worse when elements characteristic hypoxia identified tracings. degree drop frequency not so identified.
