Use of Low-molecular-weight Dextran in Management of Foetal Distress in Labour.
نویسنده
چکیده
The successful use of dextran of low molecular weight (Rheomacrodex) in the treatment of peripheral ischaemia is now well reported in the literature (Bergentz et al., 196 la, 1961b; Gelin, 1961; Gelin and Ingelman, 1961 ; Long et al., 1961 ; Ratliff, 1963; Powley, 1963 ; Leak and Kemball Price, 1964; Bienenstock and Harding, 1964). By increasing the blood supply to the affected part function can be restored or gangrene prevented. The object of this study was to see if, by improving the blood supply to the placental site, foetal distress could be alleviated, at least for sufficient time to allow vaginal delivery.

In this paper we present the results obtained with two less-known methods for...

متن کاملFoetal heart rate monitoring--present lessons and future developments.
JUST as the first detailed description of the foetal heart sounds (Le Jumeau de Kergaradec, 1822) eventually led to the view that foetal bradycardia might indicate danger to the foetus (Von Winckel, 1903) and to the present routine practice of periodic auscultation during labour, so the first reported foetal electrocardiogram (Cremer, 1906) has been followed by efforts to develop automatic meth...
متن کاملLabour analgesia effects on foetal heart rate. A mini-review
Foetal well-being during labour is of utmost importance. One of the ways to attempt to assess foetal wellbeing is by recording foetal heart rate (FHR). Loss of variability and deceleration patterns are known to be associated with foetal distress. Decelerations and foetal bradycardia have been described after any type of effective labour analgesia. This review addresses the questions if certain ...
