| Popis: | The objective of the present study was to validate one or a combination of fetal Doppler parameters in order to assess acute fetal hypoxia in an ovine model. Acute hypoxia was induced by reducing umbilical, or maternal aortic flow (approx. 70%). A CW Doppler probe was fixed on the fetal cervical skin, facing the internal carotid artery and the fetal abdominal skin adjacent to the umbilical arteries. (The angle between Doppler beam and flow vector remained constant.) A "Doptek 3000" spectrum analyser was used to measure the maximal and mean Doppler frequencies. Heart rate (HR), umbilical blood flow (UBF), carotid blood flow (CBF), umbilical RI (URI), cerebral RI (CRI) and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR = CRI/URI) were calculated in real time. A catheter was inserted into the fetal femoral artery, for blood gas (PO2, PCO2 pH) and blood pressure (BP) measurements. After 1 min of aorta compression (70% aortic flow reduction), the URI increased by 10% (P < 0.05), and the UBF decreased by 10% (P < 0.05), but the CRI decreased by 20% (P < 0.02), and the CBF did not change significantly. Fetal PO2 and CPR fell down after 1 min (59% and 38%, respectively; P < 0.001), although strong fetal heart rate decelerations were observed. The blood pressure, PCO2 and pH did not change significantly during this test. Throughout the 12 min of cord compression (70% umbilical flow reduction) the URI increased (70% to 80% P < 0.001), and the UBF decreased (approx. 60%; P < 0.001), but the CRI decreased (approx. 25%; P < 0.01), and the CBF remained constant (+/- 5%; ns). Fetal PO2 and CPR all decreased during the compression (30% to 44% and 40% to 60%, respectively; P < 0.001). HR, pH and PCO2 did not change significantly. During cord compression the blood pressure did not change significantly. In both cases, the CPR decreased significantly (P < 0.001) with the PO2 in the same direction and with a comparable amplitude (-30% to -50%). Nevertheless, the drop in CPR was greater during cord compression than during aorta compression, probably because the compression of the cord induced a central hypovolemia in addition to the hypoxia. The CPR was found to be the hemodynamic parameter that followed most closely the PO2 acute changes. The amplitude of the variations of this parameter (-30% to -50%) were quite similar to those of the PO2 during the period of acute hypoxia.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) |
