Definition
Fetal distress is defined as
depletion of oxygen and
accumulation of carbon
dioxide,leading to a state of
hypoxia and acidosis during
intra-uterine life.

Maternal factors
1) Microvascular ischaemia(PIH)
2) Low oxygen carried by RBC(severe

anemia)

FETAL
DISTRESS
MANAGEMEN
T

When fetal distress is present, immediate action


must be taken to restore proper blood supply and
oxygenation to the baby.
If there are signs of fetal distress, the healthcare
provider may choose to deliver the baby immediately
(often by cesarean section). Often, however, he or
she will take other steps first to try to improve and
confirm the baby's condition.

- alteration of maternal position

hydration
oxygen administration
checked for meconium
fetal scalp stimulation
amnioinfusion

If the mother is receiving oxytocin (a drug


that induces labor), the healthcare
provider may stop giving it.
If conservative measures are
unsuccessful, immediate delivery of the
baby (often by cesarean section) is
required .

In certain situations, it may be appropriate to


resuscitate the baby in the uterus before performing
the cesarean delivery: use of medication
The fetus must continue to be monitored closely for
signs that the treatment is not working, which would
require the immediate commencement of the
cesarean delivery.
The negligence of a healthcare provider to
implement an appropriate treatment plan can result
in permanent injury, or even death, to baby and
mother.
