“…The biophysical profile (BPP) is known to be a non-invasive test that can help predicting the presence or absence of fetal asphyxia. 1 BPP helps in identification of comprised fetus so than measures stopping progressive metabolic acidosis progressing in to fetal death can be taken 2,3 The BPP comprise of data from two sources that are ultrasonographic imaging as well as monitoring of the fetal heart rate (FHR). Dynamic real-time B-mode ultrasonography (USG) is employed to find out the amniotic fluid volume (AFV) and to note various types of fetal movements.…”

Objectives: To find out the frequency of adverse perinatal outcome among patients having poor BPP. Study Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Nishtar Hospital Multan. Period: From August 2018 to November 2019. Material & Method: In this study, 273 cases fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled. They were screened on the basis of biophysical profile on ultrasonography to confirm the poor biophysical profile. Patients were followed till delivery. Adverse perinatal outcome i.e. cesarean section and poor APGAR score were recorded. Stratification was done to control effect modifier like maternal age, gestational age and parity. Results: A total of 273 patients with poor biophysical profile were included. The mean age of patients was 27+4.2 years whereas mean gestational age was 37.8+2.0 weeks. Out of 273 patients, 197 (72.2%) patients had cesarean section. A total of 246 (90.1%) patients had poor APGAR score at 5 minutes. Conclusion: Frequency of adverse perinatal outcome such as cesarean section and Apgar score at 5 minutes in patients with poor BPP was high.

Objective. To evaluate the clinical applicability of the rapid biophysical profile (rBPP), comparing results of the rBPP to umbilical cord pH values and Apgar scores. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 37 pregnant women from our high-risk service. All of them gave birth at our institution. rBPP was conducted up to 24 h prior to delivery and pH values were obtained from the umbilical vein immediately after birth. The mean and standard deviations for maternal age, gestational age at birth, pH values, and Apgar score in the 1st and 5th minutes after birth were calculated. An unpaired Student's t-test was applied to evaluate the correlation between these variables and rBPP scores of 2 and 4. Results. rBPP score of 2 was observed in 8 patients (21.6%) and score 4 was observed in 29 cases (78.4%). No patients received score zero. The difference between the Apgar scores of the rBPP score 2 and 4 was statistically significant (P < 0.01) while the same was not true with the umbilical cord pH (P = 0.08), even though the values tended to be lower in the rBPP 2 group. Conclusion. The rBPP is a fast and practical method of assessment of antepartum fetal well-being. Further studies, with a larger number of patients, are necessary to evaluate the applicability of the method.

“…Pre term births, infections, hypertensive diseases and intrapartum asphyxia are cited as most important contributors for perinatal mortality. 2 Almost 2/3rd of perinatal deaths occur due to obstetric factors, perinatal hypoxia and infections, which are preventable causes. To address this problem, various antenatal fetal surveillance methods have been devised in the past few decades and the search for best is still ongoing.…”

Background: A reduced fetal movement is a common indication for assessment of fetal well being. A reduced fetal movement is considered as high risk pregnancy because the fetus is at high risk of hypoxia and sudden demise. Methods: Hospital based prospective study conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, RVRS Medical College, Bhilwara. Total 130 pregnant women were included in this study. Results: 10.77% patients didn’t perceive fetal movements after admission. Out of 14 patients with absent DFMC, 6 babies (42.86%) died and 8 babies (57.14%) survived. The association betweenNon Stress Test and mode of delivery was found statistically significant. 83.33%) were admitted in NICU. Out of 24 patients presenting with non reactive NST, 20.83% (5) babies born with APGAR score more than 7 and 79.17% (19) babies had APGAR score 4-7. Conclusion: The association between NST & DFMC and fetal outcome was found statistically significant. Keywords: DFMC, NST, Fetal outcome, survived.
