Objective To investigate the effect on thyrotropin (TSH) levels of pregnant women and their newborns in different delivery ways. Methods The serum TSH levels of 213 pregnant women and the umbilical cord blood TSH levels of their newborns (140 cases from normal vaginal delivery, 38 cases from cesarean section, 35 cases from low forceps delivery) were tested by immunoradiometric assay. Urinary iodine was detected from pregnant women before delivery. Results In pregnant women, the mean serum level of TSH in the forceps group [(4 13?0 69) mU/L] was significantly higher than those of the normal birth group [(2 58?0 87) mU/L, P
RESUMEN
High frequency ventilators(HFV) are introduced in such aspects as its contribution to the development of the ventilation, phylogeny, working principle in the physiological field, the advantages over normal-frequency ventilation, three common HFV modes and their application to medical therapy. The present situation of HFV is analyzed as well as it's developing trends and prospects.
