Objective. Despite the ubiquity of electronic fetal monitoring, validity relationship between various heart rate (FHR) patterns and acidemia has not yet been established in a large unselected series consecutive pregnancies. The aim this study was to examine published literature for evidence such relationship.Methods. Four hypotheses based on assumptions common clinical use were examined. searched relationships certain aspects FHR (e.g., degree variability, depth decelerations), acidemia, or...
Preeclampsia is a multisystemic disorder of pregnancy that affects 250,000 pregnant individuals in the United States and approximately 10 million worldwide per annum. associated with substantial immediate morbidity mortality but also long-term for both mother offspring. It now clearly established low dose aspirin given daily, beginning early modestly reduces occurrence preeclampsia. Low-dose seems safe, because there paucity information about effects on infant, it not recommended all...
Interest in the subject of umbilical cord clamping is long-standing. New evidence reveals that placental transfusion, facilitated by delayed (DCC), reduces death and need for blood transfusions preterm infants without harm. Even a brief delay shows improved survival well-being, but waiting at least two minutes even better. We propose three major benefits from DCC contribute to reduced mortality infants: (1) components blood; (2) assistance continued circulation (3) essential mechanical...
In Brief Standardization of fetal heart rate (FHR) interpretation and management guidelines has been elusive, no system is currently widely accepted in the United States. The recently summarized 2008 Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute Child Health Human Development workshop proposed a three-tier FHR patterns, but left recommendations to professional associations. middle tier, called indeterminate Category II, which contains variant patterns seen most frequently, vast heterogeneous. We...
Abstract Background Recent research suggests that latent phase of labor may terminate at 6 rather than 4 centimeters cervical dilation. The objectives this study were to: (a) characterize duration the among term, low‐risk, United States women in spontaneous using women's self‐identified onset; and (b) quantify associations between demographic maternal/newborn health characteristics phase. Methods This prospective (n = 1281) described hours, stratified by parity mean, median, 80th, 90th, 95th...
Objective: The aim of this study is to develop a core outcome set for the frequency and modality prenatal care visits.
The purpose of electronic fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring is the ongoing assessment oxygenation. FHR tracings are analyzed for characteristic patterns that signify specific hypoxic or nonhypoxic events. A working knowledge physiology and response to hypoxia can aid refine clinical interpretation during labor. This article reviews decreased oxygenation, subsequent presentation asphyxia in newborn.
