discuss

The first two cases are chronic fetal distress, which is related to fecal contamination of amniotic fluid and oligohydramnios. The third is acute fetal distress, which is caused by premature rupture of membranes and placental abruption. Postoperative pathology showed acute chorioamnionitis, and placenta and umbilical cord caused fetal distress. Three cases of electronic fetal heart monitoring showed that the baseline of fetal heart was normal, but there was no acceleration, variation and no response. It all happens before delivery, and it is impossible to give birth through vagina in a short time. Timely termination of pregnancy by cesarean section can improve the prognosis of newborns and reduce the occurrence of long-term complications.

Fetal stress is a series of pathological conditions and comprehensive symptoms caused by intrauterine hypoxia and acidosis, which endangers the health and life of the fetus and is related to pregnant women, fetus, placenta, umbilical cord, amniotic fluid, anesthesia and other factors. It is very critical and important to identify the high-risk factors causing fetal distress before delivery and deal with them in time. Therefore, an important goal of fetal monitoring is to find and deal with acute fetal distress early, improve the prognosis of newborns and reduce the occurrence of long-term complications.

The basic pathology of fetal distress is a series of pathophysiological changes caused by ischemia and hypoxia. When the fetus is in distress, the hemodynamic changes of the heart first appear in hypoxia. At the initial stage of hypoxia, sympathetic nerves are excited, the secretion of catecholamine and cortisol in adrenal gland is increased, blood pressure is increased, heart rate is accelerated, and the blood flow in the fetus is redistributed, so that the blood flow of important organs such as heart and brain remains normal, while the blood flow of kidneys and other organs is obviously reduced. If hypoxia continues to develop, it will turn into vagus nerve excitement, arteriovenous blood vessels will expand, effective circulating blood volume will decrease, ischemia and hypoxia of important organs such as heart and brain will increase, and organ function will decrease; The central nervous system function is inhibited, fetal movement is reduced, and the baseline variation of fetal heart is reduced.
