Abstract

Aim: To determine any possible  relationship between fetal distress signs on electronic fetal monitoring and birth outcomes, in case of meconnium stained amniotic fluid.

Material and Method: This retrospective cohort study included 107 pregnant women at the gestational age of 35-42 weeks, who were admitted to the labor room with signs of active labor process and meconium stained amniotic fluid leakage, between June and September 2016.

Results: There were no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of gestational week at birth, gender of baby, birth length and weight, mode of delivery, and low 5th minute APGAR score (≤5). However, low 1st minute APGAR score (≤5) values, emergency cesarean delivery and neonatal intensive care unit admission were significantly higher in the fetal distress group (p=0.037, p<0.0001, p = 0.002, respectively).







Conclusion: Active labor management and induction of labor can be implemented with closely electronic fetal monitoring in the presence of meconium. However, the presence of stress findings should be taken into account. Cases with fetal distress findings are associated with increased poor perinatal outcomes in relation to chronic stress. Moreover, to choose cesarean section as the mode of delivery did not seem to improve perinatal outcomes.

Mekonyumla boyalı amnionun peripartum etkileri ve perinatal sonuçlarla ilişkisi

Abstract


Amaç:  Koyu mekonyum varlığında elektronik fetal
monitorizasyonda fetal sıkıntı olup olmama durumuna göre travay özellikleri ile
doğum sonuçları arasındaki ilişkiyi
değerlendirmektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu retrosprektif çalışmada, tersiyer bir merkezde
Haziran-Eylül 2016 tarihlerinde 35-42 hafta arası sancılı gebelik
endikasyonuyla doğum salonuna yatırılan ve koyu mekonyumlu amniyon sıvısı
saptanan 107 gebenin klinik özellikleri ve doğum sonuçları değerlendirildi.

Bulgular:  İstatistiksel
olarak doğumun gerçekleştiği gebelik haftası, yenidoğan cinsiyet, boy ve kilo,
doğum şekilleri, düşük 5. dakika APGAR skoru(≤ 5) değerleri
açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık yoktu. Ancak düşük 1. dakika APGAR
skoru (≤ 5) değerleri, acil şartlarda sezaryen olma ve yenidoğan
yoğun bakım kabulü fetal distres grubunda anlamlı olarak daha fazlaydı(p değerleri
verilen sırası ile p=0.037, p <0.0001, p=0.002).







Sonuç: Mekonyum varlığında elektronik
fetal monitorizasyonla yakın takiple aktif travay yönetimi ve doğum indüksiyonu
denenebilir. Ancak stres bulguları varlığında dikkatli olunmalıdır. Bu olgular
kronik stresle ilişkili olarak artmış kötü perinatal sonuçlarla birliktedir.
Artmış sezaryen oranları fetal sonuçların düzelmesinde yeterli olmamıştır.
