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.
Definition
Maternal factors
1)Microvascular ischaemia(PIH)
2)Low oxygen carried by RBC(severe
anemia)
3)Acute bleeding(placenta previa,
placental abruption)
4)Shock and acute infection
5)obstructed of Utero-placental blood flow
Etiology
Placenta、umbilical factors
1)Obstructed of umbilical blood flow
2)Dysfunction of placenta
3)Fetal factors
4)Malformations of cardiovascular system
5)Intrauterine infection
Etiology
Hypoxia、accumulation of carbon dioxide
