BACKGROUND: Fetal movement is a predictor of fetal well-being. Fetal movement in response to a stimulation (fetal recoil) has been tested, and all fetuses that demonstrated recoil had umbilical arterial blood pH at least 7.20. CASES: We used fetal recoil to allow labor in three women with fetal heart tracings that were not informative. In all three, Apgar scores or umbilical artery pH values confirmed normal fetal acid-base status at birth. CONCLUSION: Fetal recoil is a potentially useful method to assess fetal status when fetal heart rate monitoring is not informative. |
