Etiology is not known,maybe correlate to fetal adrenal cortex Surmise the mechanism for the initiation of delivery has some abnormalities PG (prostaglandin)and E deficient,P increase Fetal malformation 3 Anencephalic fetus,hypoplasia of adrenals 3

Pathology Placental function is sufficient (90%) Fetus growth,macrosomia,shoulder dystocia Skull calcified Placental function is insufficient 3 Three stage 3 Postmaturity syndrome(PMS):infants are withered,meconium-stained,fragile,with long nails and peeling skin Placenta:thinner,infarcts,fibrin deposition and calcification 4

Complication Perinatal morbidity rates increased sharply Fetal distress meconium aspiration syndrome(MAS),asphyxia Trauma:shoulder dystocia Mental retardation and neurologic sequelae Mother: 3 manipulative delivery is increased

Diagnosis and Treatment I.Dating the pregnancy Date the LMP Positive Serum HCG at 5 weeks Fetal heart tones auscultated with a stethoscope at 18~20 weeks,with electronic device in 10 weeks Physical exam of uterus:height of fundus, 8 Maternal perception of quickening Ultrasound:crown-rump length,diameter of BPD (biparietal diameter) 6

2.Evaluation of the fetus A kick count:normal fetal movement >10beats/12h 8 Electronic fetal monitoring:NST,CST,2~3 times weekly 8 Ultrasound evaluation biophysical profile)BPP: twice weekly,8 in normal,<5 is oligohydramnios,twice weekly Check for meconium in the amniotic fluid:greenish
7 2. Evaluation of the fetus A kick count:normal fetal movement 10beats/12h Electronic fetal monitoring: NST, CST, 2~3 times weekly Ultrasound evaluation ( biophysical profile) BPP: twice weekly, 4 abnormal Ultrasound measurement of the amount of amniotic fluid: AFI( amniotic fluid index)>8 in normal, <5 is oligohydramnios, twice weekly Check for meconium in the amniotic fluid: greenish
3.Termination of pregnancy 8 Baby in danger:NST nonreactive,OCT or CST positive,abnormal biophysical profile Cervix ripe Fetal weight >4000g or FGR Other severe complication:eclampsia 3 oligohydramnion 8
8 3. Termination of pregnancy Baby in danger: NST nonreactive, OCT or CST positive, abnormal biophysical profile Cervix ripe Fetal weight >4000g or FGR Other severe complication: eclampsia oligohydramnion
Vaginal delivery Cervical ripen:artificial rupture of fetal membrane Cervical unfavorable:use medicine to make it ripen Cesarean section Cervix is unfavorable Inducing labor is failed Fetal distress 3Dystocia:fetopelvic disproportion 9
