The hemodynamic, metabolic, and biochemical changes produced during the transition from fetal to neonatal life may be aggravated if an episode of asphyxia occurs during fetal life. The aim of the study was to examine regional cerebral blood flow (RCBF), histological changes, and cerebral brain metabolism in preterm lambs, and to analyze the role of oxidative stress in the first hours of postnat...

Background: Asphyxia is a condition in which newborn babies do not breathe spontaneously and regularly after birth; out of 120 million born with Asphyxia, nearly 1 these die because Asphyxia. This caused by fetal hypoxia the womb associated factors that arise pregnancy, labor, birth. The high number cases death infants can be lack knowledge mothers preventing causes during pregnancy to childbir...

OBJECTIVE Fetal peripartum surveillance with ST analysis of fetal electrocardiogram (STAN) alone or in combination with fetal blood sampling (FBS) is a worldwide debate. STAN monitoring without FBS support was implemented in 2000 in the authors' department when it took part in a European multicentre project. The aim of this study was to evaluate neonatal outcomes associated with peripartum STAN...

After an uncomplicated term delivery, a newborn infant experienced a life-threatening even a few minutes after being born. Few such events have been described before, they may be due to suffocation; minor changes in surveillance can probably prevent these potentially devastating events.

Treatment and outcome of childbirth depend on the acidobasic balance of the fetal blood related to the oxygen and carbon dioxide level. Hypoxemia could lead to asphyxia that is why fetal monitoring and biochemical parameters assessment are mandatory. Although there are compensatory mechanisms that temporarily protect the fetus, there are also other factors that interfere with the oxygenation of...

OBJECTIVE This guideline provides new recommendations pertaining to the application and documentation of fetal surveillance in the antepartum and intrapartum period that will decrease the incidence of birth asphyxia while maintaining the lowest possible rate of obstetrical intervention. Pregnancies with and without risk factors for adverse perinatal outcomes are considered. This guideline prese...

We present a case of fetal tachycardia associated with maternal use of long-acting pseudoephedrine, an over-the-counter decongestant. No previous studies exist on pseudoephedrine or other over-the-counter decongestants and their effect on the fetal heart. The elevated fetal heart rate led to difficulty in interpreting a nonstress test. The normal human fetal heart rate at term is 110 to 160 bea...

Umbilical cord knots occur in 1-2% of all deliveries can lead to increase fetal death and asphyxia. A thorough examination is important discern abnormalities. Although there are not set guidelines for diagnosing managing umbilical knots; reporting with complications will aid decision making better future patient management. We describe one such case a primigravida who was found have an knot.
