Abstract:
Objective To evaluate diagnosis of cord entanglem ent and fetus safety by B ultra-sonic and nemodromometer. Methods 86 pregnant women were diagnosed as cord entanglement in late pregnancy by B ultrasonic examination and Doppler blood flow analysis of the S/D ratio from ma r to May, 1999. The pregnancy outcomes were followed up. Cord entanglement,es -pecially the high blood circulating resistance, suggested that there was h igh risk of fetal distress. The obstetrician would manage the delivery stage pro perly according to the results of Doppler examination.Results 7 2 women were proved cord entanglement after delivery wity coincident rate of 83. 7%. Five women were delivered by cesarean section and forceps among 11 cases of abno rmal S/D ratio, and the rate of operative delivery in group with abnormalS/D rat io was significantly higher than that of the group with normal S/D ratio (P <0.05). Conclusions The combined examination can improve the rate of diagnosis of cord entanglement and abnormal S/D ratio, forecast the feta l distress, reduce birth rate of infant with lower Apgar score and reduce the ces arean section rate due to social factor.
