  2. 1. Lactate as an early marker of intrapartum fetal hypoxia

    Author : Malin Holzmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : cardiotocography;

    Abstract : Background: Cardiotocography (CTG) is the main method for intrapartum fetal surveillance in many countries. The method has a high sensitivity, but a poor specificity, which leads to an increased rate of interventions compared with auscultation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Birth asphyxia : Fetal scalp blood sampling and risk factors for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy

    Author : Lena Liljeström; Maria Jonsson; Anna-Karin Wikström; Ulf Högberg; Andreas Herbst; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : asphyxia; fetal scalp blood sampling; hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy; obstetric emergencies; operative deliveries for fetal distress; overweight; short stature; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : Preventing birth asphyxia is a major challenge in delivery care. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate fetal scalp blood sampling (FBS) and explore risk factors for moderate to severe neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). READ MORE

  5. 3. Prenatal Diagnosis of Haemophilia - psychological, social and ethical aspects

    Author : Ulf Tedgård; Enheten för pediatrisk hematologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reproduction; sense of coherence; risk factors; psychological reactions; genetic counselling; chorionic villus sampling; fetal blood sampling; fetoscopy; Haemophilia; prenatal diagnosis; therapeutic abortion; follow-up study; Pediatrics; Pediatri;

    Abstract : The general aim of this study has been to study the psychological, social and ethical aspects for carriers of haemophilia and their spouses, related to the development of techniques for carrier testing and for prenatal diagnosis (PD) of haemophilia. This was investigated by a semi-structured follow-up interview with 29 carriers of haemophilia with experience of PD by fetal blood sampling (FBS), and with 29 carriers (and 23 spouses) with experience of PD by chorionic villus sampling (CVS).

  6. 4. Practical methods for Gaussian mixture filtering and smoothing

    Author : Abu Sajana Rahmathullah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In many applications, there is an interest in systematically and sequentially estimating quantities of interest in a dynamical system, using indirect and inaccurate sensor observations. There are three important sub-problems of sequential estimation: prediction, filtering and smoothing. READ MORE

  7. 5. New approaches on fetal and maternal intrapartum monitoring

    Author : Stina Wretler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Intrapartum fetal monitoring aims to prevent adverse outcomes due to intrapartum asphyxia. Cardiotocography (CTG) is an established method for intrapartum monitoring. The method has high sensitivity, but low specificity and is also user-dependent and linked to both inter- and intraobserver variability. READ MORE
