چکیده
AIMS To determine the predictive value of fetal pulse oximetry (FPO) for the development of fetal acidosis in cases of non-reassuring fetal heart rate (FHR). METHODS In a prospective observational study, pulse oximetry monitoring was examined in cases of non-reassuring FHR during singleton cephalic delivery at 36-42 weeks' gestation. The study examined whether fetal arterial oxygen saturation (FSpO(2)) values <30% for at least 10 min during the last 60 min before delivery increase the risk of fetal acidosis. The predictive reliability of this algorithm and the correlation to fetal acidosis [umbilical artery pH (UApH) <7.15] were analyzed. RESULTS We included 101 patients with non-reassuring FHR during delivery. The incidence of fetal acidosis was significantly higher when FSpO(2) values <30% were recorded for at least 10 min (P=0.0). An UApH <7.15 was reliably excluded with a negative predictive value of 98.7% and detected with a sensitivity of 92.9%. CONCLUSIONS A low pulse oximetry oxygen saturation <30% for at least 10 min correlates highly with fetal acidosis in cases of non-reassuring FHR. FPO reliably excludes moderate to advanced acidosis and can reduce the frequency of fetal blood analysis (FBA) in cases of non-reassuring cardiotocography (CTG).

Can we Replace Arterial Blood Gas Analysis by Pulse Oximetry in Neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, who are Treated According to INSURE Protocol?
Neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), who are treated according to INSURE protocol; require arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis to decide on appropriate management. We conducted this study to investigate the validity of pulse oximetry instead of frequent ABG analysis in the evaluation of these patients. From a total of 193 blood samples obtained from 30 neonates <1500 grams with RDS,...
متن کاملFetal pulse oximetry: the European experience
Pulse oximetry is a technique of fetal monitoring during labour based on non-invasive measurement of fetal arterial oxygen saturation. It has been shown in animal studies that metabolic acidosis occurred for a fetal arterial oxygen saturation below 30%. One of the main debates during initial experience in humans, was focused on the adequate cut-off for intervention (or non-intervention), and th...

Background: The Biophysical Profile (BPP) is a noninvasive test that predicts the presence or absence of fetal asphyxia and, ultimately, the risk of fetal death in the antenatal period. Intervention on the basis of an abnormal biophysical profile result has been reported to yield a significant reduction in prenatal mortality, and an association exists between biophysical profile scoring and a d...

The objective of the present study is the development of an automated computerized system that will assist the early diagnosis of fetal hypoxia. We demonstrate that it is possible to distinguish between healthy subjects and acidemic fetuses by way of wavelet transform analysis of the fetal heart rate recordings and fetal pulse oximetry (FSpO2). We focus on the values of the standard deviation o...
