Intermittent fetal heart auscultation and correlation with APGAR score
Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The main goal of an obstetrician in modern day is to deliver a baby in a good health and minimize the disability of the newborn. Intermittent fetal heart auscultation with a stethoscope gives an idea about fetal wellbeing. Objectives: To detect fetal distress by intermittent fetal heart auscultation and correlate fetal heart rate with APGAR score. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted on 100 cases at term gestation admitted in Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences for a period of 2 years Results: In the present study fetal distress was found to be 33%. 23% had low APGAR scores. Neonatal seizure rates, intrauterine and neonatal deaths were nil in the study. Conclusion: Intermittent fetal heart auscultation in active stage of labor can effectively detect fetal distress.
