CHAPTER 2 Prenatal Environment: Effect on Neonatal Outcome

evaluation of the fetus. Although there are several different BPP scoring systems, the one most gen­erally accepted assigns a numerical score of 0 or 2 for the absence or presence, respectively, of five dif­ferent parameters: fetal movement, tone, “breathing” movements, amniotic fluid volume, and the NST. One advantage to evaluation of several different fetal biophysical variables is enhanced specificity of testing with a diminished incidence of delivery for false-positive results. The presence or absence of acute markers (movement, tone, breathing, and NST) helps reflect fetal status at the time of testing. However, the absence of a given marker may be difficult to interpret, because it may simply reflect normal periodicity.
The biophysical activities that mature first in fetal development disappear last as acidosis worsens. Fetal tone (flexion and extension) is present at 7½ to 8½ weeks after the last menstrual period. This activity, as well as gross body movement, is mediated in the cortex and nuclei of the CNS. Fetal movement is present by 9 weeks. Fetal breathing movements (i.e., rhythmic breathing movements of 35 seconds or more) can be seen by 20 weeks of gestation. The CNS center responsible for control of this activity is the ventral surface of the fourth ventricle. The final acute marker to mature is fetal heart rate accelera­tion in response to movement (reactive NST) seen in the later second trimester. The posterior hypo­thalamus and medulla control this activity. Given that the first marker to appear in development is the last to disappear with worsening fetal acidosis, the absence of fetal tone has been found to be asso­ciated with high perinatal morbidity and mortality rates. Chronic sustained fetal hypoxia or acidosis may produce a protective redistribution of cardiac output away from less vital fetal organs (e.g., kidney, lung) toward the essential organs (e.g., brain, heart, adrenal glands). Redistribution of fetal blood flow may be so profound that renal perfusion decreases to the point that oligohydramnios is established. When the largest vertical amniotic fluid pocket within the uterus is less than 1 cm, the perinatal mortality rate is as high as 110 per 1000.

A BPP score of 8 or 10 is normal; a score of 6 is equivocal, and the profile should be repeated in 12 to 24 hours. A score of 4 or less is abnormal. Management in the presence of an abnormal BPP depends on the gestational age and the maternal and/or fetal factors contribut­ing to the altered state.
The BPP employs the advantages of real-time ultrasonography to observe fetal behavior.51 One of its major advantages is as an intermediate step in the evaluation of a fetus with a nonreactive NST before a time-consuming CST is per­formed. It is also a useful tool for patients with contraindications to the CST, such as premature labor, PROM, placenta previa, malpresentation, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or multiple gesta­tion. The modified BPP, which combines an acute marker (NST) with the chronic marker of fetal well-being (amniotic fluid index [AFI]), has been shown by some centers to be as predictive of fetal well-being as the full BPP. Because evaluation of the AFI is less time-consuming and requires less technical skill, this may be an acceptable alterna­tive for many centers. Finally, it should be noted that though widely used, there is insufficient evidence from RCTs to support the use of BPP as a test of fetal well-being in high-risk pregnan-

cies.
No matter which of these testing modalities is used, the patient should be counseled as to the pre­dictive value of a “normal” test. The incidence of stillbirth within 1 week of a reactive NST is 1.9 per 1000; for a negative CST, it is 0.3 per 1000; and for a normal BPP, it is 0.8 per 1000.10 Although some investigators have reported a decreased incidence of fetal mortality after initiation of a fetal movement counting program for “low-risk” patients,
141
more recent studies have found no difference in perinatal outcomes with fetal movement counting.54 More controlled studies are needed.

The role of Doppler flow assessment of the
fetal arterial and venous systems in the pre­diction of in utero well-being is also accepted.
Measurement of umbilical artery velocity is used as a method of fetal surveillance for growth-restricted fetuses. Specifically, decreased or absent end-diastolic flow may appear days before conventional antenatal tests become abnormal. In cases such as these, at a minimum, intensive fetal surveillance is advised.51
Reversal of diastolic flow is highly predictive of in utero fetal demise within 24 hours and warrants immediate intense investigation or delivery.
51
The dramatic improvement in ultrasound image quality over the past 15 years also has made it possible to directly sample fetal blood and tissue. The technique of percutaneous umbilical blood sam- pling (PUBS) has given the obstetrician access to

the fetal circulation with relative safety for both the fetus and mother. In this procedure, real-time ultrasonography is used to guide the insertion of a needle into the umbilical vein or artery. Samples of fetal blood can be obtained, or, as in the case of red cell isoimmunization, transfusions can be carried out. The fetal loss rate is generally quoted as 1% to 2%.

PERINATAL TRANSPORT
https://t.me/medicina_free

AND LEVELS OF CARE
MARIO AUGUSTO ROJAS, AMANDA FLAHERTY, HEATHER FURLONG BROWN, AND TAMARA RUSH
erinatal transport is the timely and appro­priate transfer of high-risk pregnant moth-
P
ers to health care facilities in which exper­tise and resources for optimal care are available to improve mortality and morbidity of both the mother and her fetus. If transfer of the mother is
not possible because of risk outweighing potential benefit, the objective then shifts to optimizing deliv­ery, and birth of the high-risk infant. In the latter situation, it is necessary to have adequately trained
professionals to resuscitate and stabilize the infant before his or her transfer to a medical center that has the appropriate expertise and resources.
For perinatal transport to effectively support high­risk mothers and their fetuses, as well as sick newborn infants, each country, state, or region must identify its perinatal resources with respect to physical and human capabilities. This review should include clas­sification of levels of care and expertise, as well as mapping of resources as they exist within specific geo­graphic areas. Classification of perinatal resources
according to the different levels of care as recom­mended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in their Guidelines for
Perinatal Care4 will direct organization, identifi-
cation of resources, and roles of patient referral and retrieval centers, as well as reveal the natural elevation of care within the geographic area of question (Table 3.1). Historically, regionalization has
been recommended as the most effective and cost­efficient use of perinatal resources.* The implementa­tion of this important strategy is subject to qualitative variance depending on the characteristics of the
*

health care system and resources where it is applied. In countries in which universal health care is the norm, regionalization is more easily implemented, where­as in market-driven health care systems in which de-regionalization is predominant, these provisions for care become more challenging.† Whatever the circumstances, perinatal providers must use innovative strategies to maintain regionalization of services and high-quality perinatal transport systems.
Because all hospitals cannot provide all levels of perinatal care, interhospital transport of preg­nant women and neonates is an essential compo­nent of any regional perinatal effort. Women who
are at risk for complications and pose significant risk for adverse outcomes or whose neonates are likely to require intensive care support should be consid­ered candidates for referral during the antepartum period.32 Similarly, it is accepted medical practice to transfer a neonate to a hospital that can provide the services needed or anticipated to be needed if the birth hospital cannot provide that level of sevice.
Once resources are identified and classified, a model for integration of perinatal services may be constructed. Strategic planning at this level will direct the design of the organizational structure of the perinatal transport system, including identification of leadership functions, the different member nurseries/ units and their roles, and the definition and process for perinatal elevation of care. This integration will then allow for the creation of a system for continuous data collection and analysis, facilitating a systems approach to problem solving and the implementation of quality improvement strategies within the system.
