Fetal hypoxia

From WikiLectures

Consequences[edit | edit source]

Searchtool right.svg For more information see Neonatal hypoxia.

The result of fetal hypoxia can be:

  • hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (educational problems, abnormal development, severe handicap, sometimes associated with asylum care),
  • fetal death.

Prevention[edit | edit source]

Methods of preventing fetal hypoxia are as follows:[1]:

  • centralization of births in maternity hospitals,
  • prenatal counseling activities,
  • allocation of risk conditions (complications of previous births, preeclampsia, eclampsia, diabetes mellitus, cardiopathy,...) to specialized workplaces,
  • transport in utero in case of impending premature birth,
  • lege artis procedures in obstetric practice,
  • intrapartum monitoring.
