Post-Trauma Fetal Care Using Computational Analysis in Prenatal Surgical Guidance

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the biomechanical consequences of maternal injuries on fetal movements. Additionally, the research aims to comprehend the relationship between these injuries and fetal movement within the amniotic sac and to understand the extent to which the amniotic fluid can provide protection during severe injuries. The focus is on the potential impact these injuries could have on surgical procedures and preventative strategies. Using advanced computational simulations, the study investigates how various maternal injuries can influence the behavior of amniotic fluid and the subsequent stress exerted on fetal development. The findings suggest that maternal injuries can induce stress, primarily affecting the posterior regions of the fetus and the umbilical cord, depending on the boundary and initial conditions. This stress is associated with fetal displacement within the amniotic sac. While the amniotic fluid provides a certain level of protection, its limitations become apparent during severe injuries. These insights have implications for the field of surgery, particularly fetal procedures. They underscore the need for improved protective measures and the development of personalized obstetric and neonatal care strategies. Moreover, the study highlights the potential of computational simulations in aiding surgeons. These simulations can provide a more accurate understanding of the critical areas to focus on during surgical procedures, thereby enhancing the precision and safety of these operations.
