Cardiotocographic (CTG) fetal monitoring based on automated analysis of the fetal heart rate signal is widely used for fetal assessment. The high efficiency in diagnosis of cases with no fetal risk makes it a valuable screening method. However, the conclusion generation system is still needed to improve the fetal outcome prediction. Classification of the CTG records by means of neural networks ...

The objectives of the study were to compare the progress of labour, need of medical and surgical interventions and fetomaternal outcome in primigravidae with cord round neck versus without cord round neck at term or onset of labour. This study was performed at Mahila chiktsalaya, SMS Medical college Jaipur l from dec 2010 to December 2011. A total of 200 cases were studied over a 1 yr period. A...

We report cases of unexpected adverse fetal outcome from monitored labors in which the fetal heart rate tracing was interpreted as reassuring. In these cases, portions from another signal source, usually maternal, were imperceptibly substituted into the fetal tracing in a way that masked the evidence of fetal compromise.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcome of genetic amniocentesis in twin gestations at Songklanagarind Hospital. MATERIAL AND METHOD This was a descriptive study that included all women with twin pregnancies who had a second trimester amniocentesis for chromosome study at the Maternal Fetal Medicine Unit, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Songklanagarind Hospital from January 1998 through Ju...

Fetal surgery has become a clinical reality, with interventions for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and spina bifida demonstrated to improve outcome. Fetal imaging is evolving, with the use of 3D ultrasound and fetal MRI becoming more common in clinical practise. Medical imaging analysis is also changing, with technology being developed to assist surgeons by creating 3D virtual models ...

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on fetal well-being and perinatal outcomes. Methods: Pregnant women with documented infection who visited antenatal care clinic El Shatby Maternity Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt, from May 2020 2021 were selected classified into three groups according illness severity: mild, moderate, severe. Fetal was examined using umbilical cere...

Case reports of 16 crashes involving pregnant occupants are presented that illustrate the main conclusions of a crash-investigation program that includes 42 crashes investigated to date. Some unusual cases that are exceptions to the overall trends are also described. The study indicates a strong association between adverse fetal outcome and both crash severity and maternal injury. Proper restra...

Objectives: To evaluate the role of intrapartum vibroacoustic stimulation (VAST) and cardiotocography (CTG) for the prediction of neonatal outcome. Materials and methods: One hundred and twenty-five patients in labor with cephalic presentation were selected and subjected to CTG and VAST was done further to find out whether fetus is reactive or nonreactive and findings were correlated with the f...
