ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of phloroglucinol and diazepam on the progression of labor.Methods Two hundred normal primipara without indication of cesarean were randomly divided into intervention group and control group.When the cervix dilated 3 cm,the intervention group was given 80 mg phioroglueinol by injection of the cervix and 10 mg diazepam by injection of muscle,the control group was not given any drug.The length of labor stage,the different ways of labor,scores of neonate,volume of bleeding during 2 hours after labor of the two groups were observed.Results The pain degree of Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ grade was 82,16,2 cases in intervention group,but 30,58,12 cases in control group,there was significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.01).The length of total labor stage and the first labor stage in intervention group were significant lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).the rate of spontaneous delivery in intervention group was higher than that in control group(P＜0.05),the others had no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusions Phloroglueinol and diazepam can decurtate the length of labor stage and lessen pain and have no effects on both mother and newborn.It is worthwhile to spread the drugsin clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of admission test of fetal heart rate and artificial rup-ture of membrane in predicting fetal distress in labor. Methods 658 pregnant women who had been pregnant for 33+5 to 43 weeks and delivered spontaneously in 24 hours were divided into low risk group(598 cases) and hign risk group(60 cases) according to their admission test. The admission test, result of deliv-ery, amniotic fluid contamination and Apgar scores of newborns were analyzed. Results 515 cases were reactive type(78.27%), 72 cases were equivocal type(10.94%) and 71 cases were ominous type(10.79%). Total incidence of neonatal asphyxia were 6.53%,and it was 1.94% and 33.08% in reactive type subjects and ominous type subjects, respectively. The rates of anmiotic fluid contamination were 20. 97% and 67.61% in reactive type subjects and ominous type subjects (P<0.01). The incidence of reactive type and equivocal type of amniotic fluid contamination and neonatal asphyxia were significantly lower in the low risk group than those in the high-risk group (P<0.05). Conclusions Reactive type of admission test can ensure safety of fetus during the subsequent four to five hours. Admission test of fetal heart rate and artifi-cial rupture of membrane can be used to predict fetal outcome in labor.
