Article Synopsis
- A case of monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy was confirmed via ultrasound at 32 weeks, but the dividing membrane was not visible by 36 weeks, leading to complications during delivery.
- Severe fetal heart rate deceleration of the second twin necessitated an emergency caesarean section due to cord entanglement, highlighting significant perinatal risks.
- The report suggests that antepartum disruption of the dividing membrane is more frequent than previously recognized and emphasizes the need for revised prenatal monitoring and delivery strategies.
Objective: We sought to study the effects of gestational age and maternal position on peak expiratory flow rates.
Methods: Peak expiratory flow rates were measured in the standing, sitting, and supine positions in 38 healthy pregnant women at 4-week intervals starting at less than 10 weeks until delivery and again at 6 weeks postpartum. The highest reading of 3 consecutive peak expiratory flow rate measurements for each encounter and position was used in the analysis.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the current guideline of 30-minute decision-to-incision interval (D-I) in emergent cesarean delivery (ECD) on neonatal and maternal outcomes. A retrospective chart review was conducted of pregnant women who underwent ECDs between January 1999 and December 2001. The overall median D-I was 20 minutes (range, 5 to 57 minutes).
