Fetal Heart Rate Patterns in Monochorionic Twins Following Acute Twin-Twin Transfusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background. We present here 2 cases of acute twin-twin transfusion occurred during vaginal labor in monochorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancies. Case. Fetal heart rate tracings showed tachycardia in the donor twin in the first case, while they showed reassuring patterns in both twins in the second case. Conclusion. These differences in changes of fetal heart rate in the donor twins following acute twin-twin transfusion may be resulted from the differences in amount of transfusion and elapsed time.

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that identical twins show no inter-twin differences in cardiovascular structure or physiology in fetal life unless there has been twin-twin transfusion syndrome. DESIGN Unselected prospective case-control observational study of fetoplacental haemodynamics including echocardiography at a median of 24 (16.7 to 32.3) weeks, with postnatal confirmation of congenit...

متن کاملRole of First Trimester Ultrasound Scan as a Predictor of Monochorionic Diamniotic Complications
Introduction: Monochorionic twin pregnancies come with substantially higher complications compared to their dichorionic counterparts, which include intrauterine fetal death, fetal loss prior to 24 weeks, selective intrauterine growth restriction and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Objectives: This work aims to examine the inter-twin discrepancy in nuchal translucency thickness (NT), c...

BACKGROUND The rationale for fetal surveillance in monochorionic twin pregnancies is timely intervention to prevent the increased fetal/perinatal morbidity and mortality attributed to twin-twin transfusion syndrome and intrauterine growth restriction. We investigated the residual risk of fetal death after viability in otherwise uncomplicated monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies. METHODS ...
متن کاملEndothelin concentrations in monochorionic twins with severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
The objective of this study was to determine endothelin (ET-1) concentrations in monochorionic twin fetuses with and without twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Fourteen monochorionic twin pregnancies complicated by TTTS and six without TTTS were studied. Matched maternal and fetal blood samples were obtained both in utero and at birth. Amniotic fluid samples were also collected from twin pa...
