[Significance of cardiotocographic assessment of post term pregnancy treatment]

A number of complications of childbirth and high rate of perinatal mortality explains the actuality of the problem of pos-term pregnancy. The obstetrical tactics of managing the childbirth heavily depends on the differentiation between post-term and prolonged pregnancies. The purpose of our work was the detection of the peculiarities of the cardiac activity of fetus. The cardiotocographic monitoring examinations were conducted by means of special devices--"Biomonitor-Fetalmonitor BMT9141" and "Corometrics 145". 76 pregnant women from 36 weeks gestation till delivery were examined in this long-term study. The investigation was performed every 3-5 days until the labor. Cardiotocographic parameters such as the baseline fetal heart rate and heart rate accelerations were analyzed. The obtained data give an opportunity of timely detected fetal hypoxia, which in turn allows to achieve significant reduction of incidence of inauspicious results for both fetus and newborn.
