Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We investigated the possibility of clinical diagnosis of preterm fetal well-being in the second trimester using the duration of LTVs of less than 4.5 beats/min and characteristic FHR acceleration. Fetuses between 24 and 32 weeks gestation, unlike near-term fetuses are seldom quiet and therefore the prolonged absence of fetal movement may be the best indicator of a sick fetus at these gestational ages. The amplitude and duration of the acceleration of the FHR were also clinically useful diagnostic tools for fetus well-being during the second trimester.
