By means of tcPO2 measurement, a total of 297 FHR accelerations from 55 oxygen cardiotocograms were analysed with regard to their association with changes in fetal oxygen pressure sub partu. It could be demonstrated that the transcutaneous oxygen pressure of 2.3 kPa (17.1 mmHg) with occasional accelerations was significantly (alpha less than 0.05) higher than that of 2.2 kPa (16.6 mmHg) with periodic accelerations. Oxygen pressure with occasional accelerations with "classical parameters" (amplitude greater than or equal to 15 bpm, duration greater than or equal to 15 sec) did not significantly differ from that with one or both parameters below these minimal values. Furthermore, our results suggest the production of periodic accelerations by pressorreceptor reflex due to intermittent disturbance in umbilico-placental perfusion.

D011247	Pregnancy	The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.	Gestation,Pregnancies
D001785	Blood Gas Monitoring, Transcutaneous	The noninvasive measurement or determination of the partial pressure (tension) of oxygen and/or carbon dioxide locally in the capillaries of a tissue by the application to the skin of a special set of electrodes. These electrodes contain photoelectric sensors capable of picking up the specific wavelengths of radiation emitted by oxygenated versus reduced hemoglobin.

D005316	Fetal Distress	A nonreassuring fetal status (NRFS) indicating that the FETUS is compromised (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 1988). It can be identified by sub-optimal values in FETAL HEART RATE; oxygenation of FETAL BLOOD; and other parameters.	Nonreassuring Fetal Status,Fetal Status, Nonreassuring
