Fetal distress LIN QI DE
Fetal distress is defined as depletion of oxygen and accumulation of carbon dioxide,leading to a state of “ hypoxia and acidosis ” during intra- uterine life. Definition
Maternal factors 1) Microvascular ischaemia(PIH) 2) Low oxygen carried by RBC(severe anemia) 3) Acute bleeding(placenta previa, placental abruption) 4) Shock and acute infection 5) obstructed of Utero-placental blood flow Etiology
Placenta 、 umbilical factors 1) Obstructed of umbilical blood flow 2) Dysfunction of placenta 3) Fetal factors 4) Malformations of cardiovascular system 5) Intrauterine infection Etiology
Hypoxia 、 accumulation of carbon dioxide ↓ Respiratory Acidosis ↓ FHR ↑ → FHR ↓ → FHR ↑ ↓ Intestinal peristalsis ↓ Relaxation of the anal sphincter ↓ Meconium aspiration ↓ Fetal or neonatal pneumonia Pathogenesis Acute fetal distress
Chronic Fetal distress Pathogenesis IUGR (intrauterine growth retardation)
Clinical manifestation Acute fetal distress (1)FHR FHR>180 beats/min (tachycardia) <100 beats/min (bradycardia) (LD) Repeated Late deceleration Placenta dysfunction (VD) Variable deceleration Umbilical factors
FHR:120~160 bpm / FHR variability
Early deceleration , ED
Late deceleration , LD
Variable deceleration , VD )
Clinical manifestation Acute fetal distress (2) Meconium staining of the amniotic fluid grade I 、 II 、 III (3) Fetal movement Frequently → decrease and weaken (4) Acidosis FBS (fetal blood sample) pH<7.20 pO 2 <10mmHg (15~30mmHg) CO 2 >60mmHg (35~55mmHg)
Clinical manifestation Chronic fetal distress (1) Placental function (24h E 3 <10mg or E/C<10) (2) FHR (3) BPS (4) Fetal movement (5) Amnioscopy
Management Remove the induced factors actively Correct the acidosis: 5%NaHCO 3 250ML Terminate the pregnancy (1) FHR>160 or <120 bpm meconium staining (II~III) (2) Meconium staining grade III amniotic fluid volume<2cm (3) FHR<100 bpm continually
Management Terminate the pregnancy (4) Repeated LD and severe VD (5) Baseline variability disappear with LD (6) FBS pH<7.20 Forceps delivery Caesarean section
