Foetal acid-base status in clinical foetal distress and high risk cases.
نویسنده
چکیده
The acid-base balance in 307 Chinese patients in labour was studied in Tsan Yuk Hospital, Hong Kong over a 15-month period. Fifty-six of these were normal cases, 200 cases exhibited clinical signs of foetal distress and the other fifty-one were high risk cases. The results showed that cases of clinical foetal distress had a significantly lower foetal pH than that in the normal control group. Of the different signs of clinical foetal distress, meconium was the least important and foetal tachycardia appeared to be more significant than the others. Cases of postmaturity and uterine inertia also gave a lower foetal pH than normal. It is concluded that foetal blood sampling is indicated in these types of cases.

The foetal pH values of eighty-eight cases delivered within 30 min after foetal blood sampling were correlated with the 1-min Apgar score. With a pH of 7.20 or above the error of prediction was 1'3%o. The error in cases with pH below 7.20 was 54'5/. Significantly higher pH and lower A base deficit were present in the low foetal pH group in vigorous, as opposed to depressed infants, suggesting t...
متن کاملThe effects of general anaesthesia on the asphyxiated foetal lamb in utero.
The effects of anaesthetic agents, per se, on the asphyxiated foetus are difficult to quantitate clinically. Anaesthesia is often necessary in foetal distress, however, to effect a rapid delivery. To investigate the effect of general anaesthetic agents commonly used for Caesarean section we administered these agents to 18 chronically prepared pregnant ewes with asphyxiated foetuses in utero. Th...
