"— Presentation transcript: 1 Fetal Distress in labor Dr.Maysara Mohamed 2 What is fetal distress? Fetal distress is the term commonly used to describe fetal hypoxia. [slideplayer.com]

In breech presentation, meconium is passed in labour because of compression of the fetal abdomen during delivery. This is not a sign of distress unless it occurs in early labour. Top of page Clinical principles [hetv.org]

The plaintiff presented to the hospital in labor and underwent a full workup that did not reveal any abnormalities. Approximately 8 hours later, the baby's heart rate dropped severely. [mdmalpracticeattorney.com]

An abnormal position, such as a breech presentation or transverse presentation, can increase the risk of complications, as can multiple fetuses, such as twins or triplets. [modernmom.com]

The multiple possible causes of this can be due to low levels of oxygen present in the maternal blood, or there is an inadequate blood flow as a result of an umbilical cord compression. [medicalfoxx.com]

• Cerebral Palsy

• Reduced Fetal Movement

  Signs and symptoms of fetal distress include: Reduced fetal movement or lack of movement altogether Meconium (fetal feces) in amniotic fluid Decreased heart rate A significant increase in heart rate Lack in response to stimuli Cramping Many of these symptoms [birthinjuryinfo.org]

• Spastic Quadriplegia

  The lack of oxygen resulted in a diagnosis of spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy, the most severe case of CP, seizure complications, microcephaly, and developmental delays. [beamlegalteam.com]

  Subsequently, the infant was delivered and later noted to be permanently neurologically impaired with spastic quadriplegia. Maternal seizures are a well-known but infrequent sequel of pre-eclampsia. [europeanmedical.info]

Furthermore, the improvement of prognosis for postdate pregnancy is due to the availability of electronic fetal monitoring and ultrasound, making possible the identification of fetal distress, as well as the use of prostaglandin to ripen a stubborn cervix [wikigenes.org]

The etiology is unknown, but a subclinical fetal hypoxia might have triggered a vasodilation of placental vessels. Vasodilation at an unchanged volume flow could also explain the decrease of umbilical venous flow velocity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Induction of labor and intrapartum fetal distress Last Updated on Thu, 14 Apr 2016 | Etiology Many cases also arose in the context of induction of labor for pre-eclampsia with the subsequent development of intrapartum ''fetal distress.'' [europeanmedical.info]

Preventing Fetal Distress A doctor should recognize risk factors of fetal distress and take appropriate measures to prevent it. [birthinjuryinfo.org]

Preventing fetal distress Although there is no way to completely prevent every form of fetal distress, there are certain measures that can be taken by mothers and medical practitioners that reduce the likelihood of it from occurring, such as: Eating right [thecplawyer.com]

What can be done to help prevent NRFS? Some problems may be prevented by careful observation and management of the mother and baby during labor and delivery. [hsl.upstate.edu]

CONCLUSION: An antepartum fetal surveillance program using twice-weekly nonstress test and fluid index assessment in pregnancies complicated by diabetes was successful in preventing stillbirth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
