Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the timeing which assume for assesment of BPP in low risk pregnancy. The main question is the music can be shoetening the timing for BPP? Participants will in study froup will listening the music via headphone before and during the assessment and compre to control gruop which not listening to music during asseeement.
The trial was to determine the effect of administrating subcutaneous terbutaline prior to emergency caesarean delivery for suspected fetal distress
Non-stress testing (NST) is one of the most commonly used methods to assess fetal health in the prenatal period because it is an easily interpreted, non-invasive, painless, and short-term diagnostic method. Although NST is a non-invasive and painless diagnostic method, pregnant women may feel anxiety during the procedure. It is supported by studies that listening to music causes relaxation and reducing anxiety. Therefore, the use of music as a non-pharmacological practice will increase the quality of care of individuals. There are many studies suggesting that music reduces anxiety in low-risk pregnancies during NST application. Different instruments such as ney, rebab, kopuz, dombra are used in Turkish music. In particular, ney has come to the fore in music therapy. The ney, which has different types in history, is an instrument that is closest to the human voice. In a compilation about the music used in music therapy in Turkey, it was stated that there are many social and health studies made with the sound of ney. Determining the effect of music on NST and anxiety in high-risk pregnant women will contribute to the literature.
Induction of labour (IOL) is done for 20% of pregnancies for various maternal and fetal indications and nearly 20% of labour inductions end up in caesarean section. The most common causes are failed induction and intrapartum fetal distress. In spite of significant advances in methods of IOL and intrapartum fetal monitoring, no interventions are proven to reduce the development of intrapartum fetal distress
Supplementary oxygen is routinely administered to patients, even those with adequate oxygen saturations, in the belief that it increases oxygen delivery. However, oxygen delivery depends not just on arterial oxygen content but also on perfusion. Maternal oxygen administration has been used in an attempt to lessen fetal distress by increasing the available oxygen from the mother. However, the effect of supplemental maternal oxygen therapy on fetal acid base status has been debated for more than seven decades. The investigators found the use of 2 L/min maternal oxygen during the second stage of labor did not adversely affect either the umbilical artery pH value or the fetal heart rate (FHR) pattern distribution.
In this study, investigators aimed to investigate the effects of general and spinal anesthesia techniques on copeptin levels during cesarean section and their relation with fetal distress.
A stillbirth describes when a baby dies after 24 weeks of pregnancy and before being born. In the UK there are roughly 9 stillbirths every day. Normally, before a stillbirth occurs changes such as a slower heart rate and reduced movement take place. Fetal monitoring attempts to detect these changes so that babies can be delivered before they become severely ill. If a baby could be monitored continuously then these changes could be detected earlier. However, current forms of fetal monitoring, such as ultrasound, cannot be used for long periods of time and do not significantly reduce stillbirth rates. The Monica AN24 device is a continuous monitor which records the baby's heart rhythm using sensors placed on the mother's abdomen. As this is a new device there is little evidence about how well it works. In this project women will be asked how they feel about the device after wearing it. Doctors and midwives will also be asked about their views of the device. The effect of the mother's movement and the age of the baby on how well the Monica AN24 can record the baby's heart rhythm will also be assessed.
Diabetes is the most common medical complication of pregnancy in the united states four to five percent of pregnancies are complicated by diabetes. Pregestational diabetes (diabetes diagnosed before pregnancy, type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus) comprises approximately 13 percent of all diabetes in pregnancy, while gestational diabetes ( diabetes with onset or first recognition in pregnancy) comprises the remaining 87 percent . The prevalence of pregestational diabetes has been increasing due to the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in women of reproductive age . The mainstay of the medical management of pregestational diabetes involves frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels with adjustment of diet and insulin therapy to achieve normoglycemia. Normoglycemia is important because maintenance of maternal blood glucose concentration at or near normoglycemic levels decreases the likelihood of adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage , congenital anomalies , macrosomia and fetal death.
This study will be conducted on women in labor. Fetal heart rate monitoring will be conducting using the Novii Fetal ECG/EMG system and comparing it to current standard of care external fetal heart rate and tocometry. These approaches will be compared with the respect to need for additional monitoring, amount of nursing intervention, cost and satisfaction of patients and healthcare providers.
The goal of this study is to evaluate fetal myocardial performance in patients with heart diseases in comparison to normal pregnant patients.
