摘要: Aim: The aim of this review is to provide more insight in the fetal mechanisms as a response uterine contractions and emphasize importance correct assessment activity (UA) patterns during labor. Study results: UA causes decreased flow through artery. In healthy uncompromised fetus, will not cause acidemia. fetus has developed certain protection survive labor; (1) During contraction, preload increases enables maintain constant blood umbilical artery (2) middle cerebral artery, i.e., brain sparing effect. shortcoming those compromised case excessive risk adverse outcome. effect become pronounced compensate for oxygen saturation. Maintenance normal UA, especially sufficiently long relaxation time, essential so that supply well oxygenated maternal intervillous space be restored saturation can remain stable. Conclusion: Adequate monitoring prerequisite proper reading interpretation cardiotocograms. It alarms cases help prevent Uterine contraction deserves full attention daily obstetric practice. © 2008 by Walter de Gruyter.
