The relationship between intrapartum amniotic fluid index, fetal distress and fetal acidemia.
Blood pressure ≥ 140/90 (OR = 1.3), age ≥ 35 years (OR = 1.2), pure African race (OR = 1.3) and group A blood (OR = 1.3), have all appeared to slightly increase the risk of recurrent miscarriage. As the study was very small, a larger study is needed to either confirm or refute any possible causal relationship. Age < 35 years (OR = 0.89), Arabic race (OR = 0.7), history of contraceptive use (OR ...
متن کاملThe maximal vertical pocket and amniotic fluid index in predicting fetal distress in prolonged pregnancy.
OBJECTIVE To determine cut-off values for amniotic fluid volume (AFV) predictive of fetal distress in pregnancies 40 weeks or longer, assessed using both amniotic fluid index (AFI) and height of the of maximal vertical pocket (MVP). METHODS Amniotic fluid index and MVP were evaluated in 100 women with pregnancies of 40 or more weeks and intact membranes using a 3.5-MHz linear transducer less ...

متن کاملMeconium Staining of Amniotic Fluid- A Poor Indicator of Fetal Compromise
The classical concept of passage of meconium by the fetus in response to hypoxia and its association with poor fetal outcome is controversial. However, conventionally, the passage of meconium by the fetus has been taken as an indication for urgent delivery. Although its exact cause is not known, factors ranging from mesenteric vasoconstriction induced gut hyperperistalsis, falling umbilical ven...
