Correlation between Nonreassuring Patterns in Fetal Cardiotocography and Birth Asphyxia

Comparison between Water Birth and Land Birth in terms of Fetal and Neonatal Outcomes

Introduction: Although warm water is used for labor pain reduction, there is controversy regarding the potential complications of water birth. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate fetal and neonatal complications of water birth versus those observed in conventional modes of delivery. Methods:This clinical randomized trial was performed on 200 pregnant women at Mashhad Omolbanin Hosp...

Birth asphyxia and cerebral palsy

resection,2 and in Britain we may well be dealing mostly with patients whose disease has infiltrated into surrounding tissue. The early disease in Japan may be different from that in Britain because the survival in Japanese patients (95%) is so much better than that in British patients (70%) that it cannot be explained purely on the basis of removing more affected nodes-and even RI resection in...

“Risk factors of birth asphyxia”

BACKGROUND Birth asphyxia is an insult to the fetus or newborn due to failure to breath or breathing poorly, leads to decrease oxygen perfusion to various organs. According to WHO, 4 million neonatal deaths occurred each year due to birth asphyxia. Our goal was to evaluate antepartum, intrapartum, and fetal risk factors of birth asphyxia. METHODS It was a Retrospective Case control study, con...
