Fetal Wellbeing

Music affects to human psychology, provides a sense of security, comfort and fun. Classical, natural and murottal music has a tone, rhythm, speed, gentle meter capable of stimulating alpha waves, calmness, and relaxation, beneficial to the well-being of the fetus. The purpose of this study is to describe classical, natural and murotal music on fetal well-being. This Quasi-Experiment Research with pretest-posttest design. A sample of 40 individuals was divided into 4 groups of mothers. The independent variable is classical music, natural, murotal and without music. The dependent variable is fetal well-being. The mean values before and after the intervention naturally were calculated. The results of fetal well-being based on the fetal heart rate of the classical music group before treatment there were 10% of fetuses experiencing mild aspysia after treatment of the fetus experiencing 0% aspysia. Natural and Murottal Music Group before and after treatment 100% normal fetal heart rate, group without music, before and after treatment 50% of fetuses experience Mild Aspysia. Fetal wellbeing results are based on Apgar Score, the Classical Music group after listening to classical music 10% experienced mild Aspysia. Natural Music Group and Murottal after listening to natural music and murottal 100% of babies under normal circumstances. The group without music after birth 50% of babies experience mild Aspysia. Conclusion, classical music overcomes mild asphyxia based on fetal heart rate, natural and murrotal music effectively maintains fetal well-being until birth.

Heart Auscultation

Standard evaluation of fetal well-being during labor includes the periodic assessment of the fetal heart rate (FHR), its pattern and response to intrapartum stimuli and events. Effective methods of evaluation and meaningful interpretation of FHR data range from non-invasive techniques like Intermittent Auscultation, continuous electronic fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring to invasive techniques of fetal blood gas analysis and fetal ECG.

Dimensionality Reduction Method

A novel weighted rough set-based classification approach is introduced for the evaluation of fetal nature acquired from a CardioTocoGram (CTG) signal. The classification is essential to anticipate newborn's well-being, particularly for the life-threatening cases. CTG monitoring comprises of electronic fetal heart rate (FHR), fetal activities and the uterine contraction (UC) signals. These signals are extensively used as a part of the pregnancy and give extremely significant data on fetal health. The obtained data from these recordings can be utilized to anticipate the condition of the newborn baby, which gives an open door for early medication before perpetual deficiency to the fetus. The dimension of the obtained features from CTG is high and decreases the accuracy of classification algorithms. In this article, supervised particle swarm optimization (PSO) with a rough set-based dimensionality reduction method is used to find a minimal set of significant features from CTG extracted features. The proposed weighted rough set classifier (WRSC) method is utilized for predicting the fetal condition as normal and pathological states. The performance of the proposed WRSC algorithm is compared with various classification algorithms such as bijective soft set neural network classifier (BISONN), rough set-based classifier (RST), multi-layered perceptron (MLP), decision table (DT), Java repeated incremental pruning (JRIP) classifier, J48 and Naïve Bayes (NB) classifiers. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm is capable of forecasting the fetal state with 98.5% classification accuracy, and the results show that the proposed classification algorithm performed considerably superior than other classification techniques.

Introduction: Preterm labor occurs between 20th and 37th gestational week which is regardless of the birth weight. The incidence of preterm birth is increasing and continues to be the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Antenatal corticosteroids are used for pregnant women at risk of preterm labor to reduce fetal mortality and morbidity by increasing fetal lung maturation and preventing the fetus from respiratory distress syndrome. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of antenatal dexamethasone and betamethasone on fetal heart rate variability and fetal body movements. Material and method: The pregnant women applied to clinic due to the risk of preterm labor between November 2003 and May 2004 hospitalised due to the risk of preterm labor and tocolytic treatment. The glucocorticoids to be initiated and to provide lung maturation were included in the study. Included in the study pregnant women were randomly divided into two groups. 24 hours for 20 pregnant women in the first group, 12 mg betamethasone was administered intramuscularly. 20 in the second group 6 mg dexamethasone was administered intramuscularly every 12 hours. NSTs for later evaluation of fetal well-being and baby movements were compared. Results: Pregnant women in betamethasone and dexamethasone groups compared in terms of age, gravida, parity and gestational week, there was no significant difference between the two groups (p> 0.05). At the time of first glucocorticoid application (onset) and 24 hours after the last dose of betamethasone/dexamethasone therapy, fetal heart rate, acceleration, deceleration and fetal movement counts were calculated for 3 days in the morning and evening. A significant increase was observed at heart rate in the betamethasone group after treatment, but there was no change in basal heart rate in the dexamethasone group. In the number of acceleration; significant increase was observed in betamethasone group while there was no statistically significant change was observed in the dexamethasone group. Fetal body movements were changed significantly in both groups compared with the basal movements. Conclusion: Antenatal glucocorticoid application (especially betamethasone) caused a temporary suppression in the NST and fetal movements that were used to determine fetal well-being. It should be kept in mind that these temporary changes may be misdiagnosed as fetal distress. Both dexamethasone and betamethasone can be applied in preterm delivery as a safe manner.
