Disease Features labour and delivery complicated by fetal stress [distress]
Absence or low individual and public risk
Labour and delivery complicated by fetal stress [distress] - what does this mean
Labour and delivery complicated by fetal stress (distress) occurs when the fetus experiences an inability to tolerate the normal stresses of labour and delivery, leading to hypoxia and acidosis. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including maternal hypotension, prolonged labour, lack of uterine contractions, or placental insufficiency. if fetal distress is not promptly recognized and managed, it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications.
What happens during the disease - labour and delivery complicated by fetal stress [distress]
Labour and delivery complicated by fetal stress (distress) is a condition in which the fetus experiences an increased level of stress during the delivery process. this can be caused by a number of factors, such as prolonged labor, umbilical cord compression, maternal exhaustion, and/or uterine contractions. this can lead to an increased heart rate and decreased oxygen levels in the fetus, which can cause distress and lead to fetal complications such as meconium aspiration, birth asphyxia, and/or fetal death.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Assessment of fetal heart rate
- Monitoring of fetal oxygen saturation
- Ultrasound to assess fetal growth and development
- Assessment of amniotic fluid volume
- Testing for infection
- Evaluation of maternal health and fetal well-being
- Monitoring of labor progress
- Evaluation of umbilical cord blood gases
- Assessment of placental function
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the fetal stress during labor and delivery.
- Monitoring of fetal heart rate
- Administering fluids and/or oxygen to the mother
- Administering medications to the mother to relax uterine muscles
- Administering medications to the mother to reduce the pain of labor
- Administering medications to the mother to reduce the risk of infection
- Administering medications to the fetus to reduce the stress response
- Performing an operative delivery if needed
- Using forceps or vacuum to assist delivery if needed
- Performing an emergency cesarean section if needed
11 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Labour and delivery complicated by fetal stress [distress] - Prevention
Labour and delivery complicated by fetal stress can be prevented by ensuring the mother has regular prenatal care, monitoring the baby's growth and health during pregnancy, and providing appropriate nutrition and rest for the mother. additionally, labour should be closely monitored for signs of fetal distress, and interventions such as amnioinfusion and cesarean section may be necessary if fetal distress is detected.
