Abstract
|
|
|
This study was attempted to determine whether the meconiumcrit was useful as a predictor of fetal asphyxia in the high risk pregnancy.
54 women were totally evaluated for the purpose of the study. They were consisted of 30 women(pregnancy from 38 to 42 weeks) as the control group and 24 of the high risk group.
They were admitted to the delivery floor of Dong-A Univ. From Feb. 1995 to Aug. 1995.
Meconiumcrit, umbilical cord blood pH, and Apgar score were analyzed in each group.
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1. The incidence of thick meconiumcrit was more frequent in the high risk group than the control group(p<0.05).
2. There was significant difference in the incidence of umbilical arterial pH of less than 7.2 between the high risk group and control group(p<0.05).
And there was negative correlation between meconiumcrit and umbilical arterial pH(p<0.05).
3. There were the high incidence of thick meconiumcrit and low Apgar score in the case of high risk pregnancy.
Because the meconiumcrit had correlation between umbilical arterial pH and Apgar score, meconiumcrit may be proved as a useful predictor of subsequent fetal asphyxia.
And there was elevated meconiumcrit of amniotic fluid in the high risk group.
Using with meconiumcrit and biochemical data will provide mere acourate assessment for the neonate, and perhaps a better prediction of fetal asphyxia.
