Knowledge levels of midwives regarding the interpretation of cardiotocographs at labour units in KwaZulu-Natal public hospitals

Curationis, 2019
Background: The primary purpose of cardiotocography is to detect early signs of intrapartum hypoxia and improve foetal outcomes. Intrapartum hypoxia remains the major cause of perinatal deaths during monitored labours. This is attributed to the midwives’

Association between intrapartum fetal pulse oximetry and adverse perinatal and long‐term outcomes: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fetal pulse oximetry may improve intrapartum fetal evaluation by providing a non‐invasive measurement of fetal oxygen saturation (FSpo2). Objectives To assess the association between abnormal intrapartum FSpo2 and perinatal and long‐term neurodevelopmental outcomes, and to evaluate if the addition of the measurement of FSpo2 to ...

Cancer in pregnancy: FIGO Best practice advice and narrative review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer during pregnancy is relatively rare. The incidence is underestimated due to the lack of international registries covering both high‐income and low‐ and middle‐income countries, and is expected to rise with increasing maternal age and increasing global adoption of cell‐free DNA testing for aneuploidy.

Diagnosis of Spontaneous Massive Fetomaternal Hemorrhage: A Case Report and Literature Review

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) is the passage of fetal blood through the circulatory system of the mother either before or during delivery, and it is rarely diagnosed prenatally. This paper aims to present a comprehensive review of the literature allowing us to offer comprehensive insights into the diagnosis and management of FMH.

Predictive value of fetal Doppler velocimetry, fetal growth trajectory and maternal serum biomarkers for short‐term adverse perinatal outcome: secondary analysis of DRIGITAT study

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the predictive value of markers of placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction for a composite adverse perinatal outcome (CAPO) in a small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) population. We also aimed to identify profiles that discriminate fetuses as low or high risk for CAPO, and to evaluate the association of onset of ...
