Evaluation of a stillbirth should include fetal autopsy; gross and histologic examination of the placenta, umbilical cord, and membranes; and genetic evaluation.

2024年10月29日 · The purpose of this guideline is to identify evidence-based options for parents and their families who have a late intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) after 24+0 completed weeks of pregnancy of a singleton fetus and to incorporate information on general care before, during and after birth, and care in future pregnancies.

To identify evidence-based options for women (and their relatives) who have a late intrauterine fetal death (IUFD: after 24 completed weeks of pregnancy) of a singleton fetus. To incorporate information on general care before, during and after birth, and care in future pregnancies.

2024年12月12日 · Diagnosis of IUFD. Avoid auscultation for fetal heart by Pinard stethoscope or Doppler USG or CTG ; Real-time USG. Essential for accurate dx – allows direct visualization of fetal heart; Offer discussion of USG findings with parents – for anticipated appearance of baby at birth & explain time of fetal death

The FIGO score, which quantifies the CTG parameters, is particularly suitable, as are various electronic methods currently being developed, which analyze CTG findings “online”. A good understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of fetal cardiac and circulatory regulation is essential for a competent interpretation of fetal heart ...

stethoscope, handheld Doppler or CTG monitor. • Where feasible 2 clinicians of appropriate seniority (registrar or consultant) and with training in ultrasound scanning should confirm the diagnosis of fetal demise (RCOG best practice). Careful, sensitive explanation and a flexible approach are necessary. • Discuss care with appropriate ...

2004年1月15日 · CTG surveillance of fetuses with gastroschisis may improve the outcome through detection of fetal distress thereby reducing the risk of IUFD. Other clinical situations of importance that are associated with gastroschisis are described and discussed.

There is currently no evidence-based method which can be used to diagnose potential relative placental insufficiency in late-term and post-term pregnancy. CTG results allow inferences to be made about the current condition of the fetus and are performed without the patient experiencing contractions (non-stress test = NST).

The cause of the fetal death is thought to be anoxia, possibly related to the placental passage of bile salts. Fetal assessments with umbilical artery Doppler and cardiotocography (CTG) are not predictive of fetal death.
