[Patterns of fetal heart frequency during the second stage of labour and expulsion period--typical patterns, frequency, risk of acidosis and evaluation (author's transl)]. 1979

C M Schlotter, and E Jäger, and G Wössner, and A Scheub

Four patterns of fetal heart frequency with normocardia, two with tachycardia and three with bradycardia are described during the expulsion period. The most frequent patterns are normocardia with decelerations (48%), normocardia with decelerations and final bradycardia (21.1%) and basal bradycardia with decelerations (13.5%). The frequency of acidosis (pH of the umbilical artery less than or equal to 7,200) of these three patterns amounts to 8.3, 24.1 respectively 26.7%. The mean values of pHUA of normocardia with decelerations and final bradycardia, bradycardia, bradycardia with decelerations, tachycardia with decelerations and final bradycardia with prepathologic respectively pathologic Scores (Hammacher's Score, greater than or equal to five points) range from preacidosis to acidosis. Scoring of cardiotocograms seems to be of greater clinical significance than the measurement of deceleration areas.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007743 Labor, Obstetric The repetitive uterine contraction during childbirth which is associated with the progressive dilation of the uterine cervix (CERVIX UTERI). Successful labor results in the expulsion of the FETUS and PLACENTA. Obstetric labor can be spontaneous or induced (LABOR, INDUCED). Obstetric Labor
D007748 Labor Stage, Second The period of OBSTETRIC LABOR that is from the complete dilatation of the CERVIX UTERI to the expulsion of the FETUS. Labor, Second Stage,Labor Stages, Second,Second Labor Stage,Second Labor Stages,Second Stage Labor,Stage, Second Labor,Stages, Second Labor
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
D001919 Bradycardia Cardiac arrhythmias that are characterized by excessively slow HEART RATE, usually below 50 beats per minute in human adults. They can be classified broadly into SINOATRIAL NODE dysfunction and ATRIOVENTRICULAR BLOCK. Bradyarrhythmia,Bradyarrhythmias,Bradycardias
D005260 Female Females
D005312 Fetal Blood Blood of the fetus. Exchange of nutrients and waste between the fetal and maternal blood occurs via the PLACENTA. The cord blood is blood contained in the umbilical vessels (UMBILICAL CORD) at the time of delivery.

D005318 Fetal Heart The heart of the fetus of any viviparous animal. It refers to the heart in the postembryonic period and is differentiated from the embryonic heart (HEART/embryology) only on the basis of time. Fetal Hearts,Heart, Fetal,Hearts, Fetal
