Study of nucleated red blood cells in evaluation of fetal asphyxia. Acta Clin Croat 2002;41:135-86.

Fetal asphyxia was induced by rapid inflation of the umbilical occluder with sterile saline of a predefined volume known to totally compress the umbilical cord, as determined in pilot experiments with an ultrasound blood flow probe placed around an umbilical vein [32].

Fetal asphyxia can be often a consequence of a severe arrhythmia, but also the asphyxia alone could be a trigger of SPT.

Ten chapters cover such topics as the monitoring equipment, factors affecting the fetal heart rate, and the prediction and prevention of intrapartal fetal asphyxia. A list of abbreviations and glossary of terms are found at the back of the volume.

The prevalence of intrapartum fetal asphyxia is in the order of 2%.

On admission, the hospital attached the patient to a fetal monitor, which continuously printed a strip to chart fetal heartbeat and uterine contractions to monitor for fetal asphyxia and optimize delivery.

MIAMI BEACH -- Use of biophysical profiling to enable swift delivery at the first sign of fetal asphyxia appears to be associated with a reduced risk of attention-deficit disorder and several other disorders later in life.
