Background: The intrapartum fetal surveillance has gained significant importance. Avoidance of adverse fetal outcome is the objective of intrapartum fetal monitoring. This study helps in forming the aims to provide simple and clear approach to intrapartum fetal surveillance in high risk population.Methods: In present study 80 laboring patients were analyzed retrospectively who were admitted in GCS Hospital from December 2017 to May 2018. Continuous fetal monitoring was done and results were correlated with maternal and fetal outcome.Results: Cases with high risk (23) had more non-reassuring pattern of 8.7% as compared to low risk which had 5%. With non-reassuring pattern, C-section was done in 38% whereas in reassuring pattern 85% had vaginal delivery. NICU admission in non-reassuring pattern were 7 (63.6%) whereas in reassuring were only 2 (2.89%). This makes false positivity as 36.4%.Conclusions: Predictive value of CTG of reassuring pattern is quite high. In spite of false positives, it is a very effective tool in labor room.

Background: India is considered the world capital of diabetes, proper care and management of the same is the demand of society. The present study is carried out to identify the disease burden of GDM/ overt DM among antenatal cases. The main objective was to study the maternal and fetal outcome of diabetes complicating pregnancy.Methods: The present study was conducted at Dr. Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College at Tanda, District KangraHP from October 2015 to September 2016. All antenatal cases were screened for diabetes by OGTT 75 gm, 2-hour blood glucose level as per DIPSI guidelines and labelled as GDM/ overt DM. Those who fulfilled selection criteria were enrolled in the study. A total of 6452 cases who attended antenatal clinic during the study duration and were screened were selected for the study. 116 cases were found to have GDM / overt DM. Seventy-nine had GDM with OGTT>140 mg/dl (DIPSI guidelines) and 37 had overt DM with 2 hours PP >200 mg/dl (WHO criteria). Total 100 cases comprised of study group were followed till delivery to study maternal and fetal outcome.Results: The prevalence of diabetes in pregnancy was found to be low 1.79%. GDM was found to be more prevalent than overt diabetes in pregnant women (66% versus 34%). Among the antenatal maternal complications observed missed abortion (11.8% versus 1.55; p=0.026), polyhydraminos (26.4% versus 10.6%; p=0.04) and preterm labour (17.6% versus 4.5%; p=0.003) were significantly more common in overt diabetics than GDM cases. IUFD (8.8% versus 0; p=0.014) was also significantly more common in overt diabetics than GDM case. RDS was found significantly higher in neonates of overt diabetics as compared to GDM mothers (14.7 % versus 1.5%; p=0.009).Conclusions: Early detection and good glycemia control by MNT and insulin, regular antenatal check-ups, patient counselling and compliance, intrapartum fetal monitoring and early neonatal care are keys to improved outcome.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To construct valid reference standards reflecting optimal cerebroplacental ratio and to explore its physiological determinants. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A cohort of 391 low-risk pregnancies of singleton pregnancies of nonmalformed fetuses without maternal medical conditions and with normal perinatal outcomes was created. Doppler measurements of the middle cerebral artery and umbilical artery were performed at 24–42 weeks. Reference standards were produced, and the influence of physiological determinants was explored by nonparametric quantile regression. The derived standards were validated in a cohort of 200 low-risk pregnancies. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Maternal body mass index was significantly associated with the 5th centile of the cerebroplacental ratio. For each additional unit of body mass index, the 5th centile was on average 0.014 lower. The derived 5th, 10th, and 50th centiles selected in the validation cohort were 5, 9.5, and 51% of the measurements. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This study provides methodologically sound prescriptive standards and suggests that maternal body mass index is a determinant of a cutoff commonly used for decision-making.
