Observational Study of Fetal Heartbeat Characteristics In Pregnant Women Diagnosed With Covid -19 Treated At The Regional Maternal And Child Teaching Hospital El Carmen - Huancayo, 2020
Abstract
This quantitative exploratory study is aimed at characterizing the fetal heartbeat (FHC) in pregnant women diagnosed with COVID - 19 treated at the Regional Maternal and Child Teaching Hospital El Carmen - Huancayo, 2020 Methodology: Observational, prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, in 31 pregnant women, an observation card was used along with parameters of Fisher Results: Slight COVID - 19 was found in the 31 pregnant women, 64 52% of whom were between 20 and 34 years old, while 93 55% were from the urban area, 90 32% were housewives, 48 39% were primiparous, and 38 71% were multiparous The mean temperature was 36 9, blood pressure 111/71 mmHg, and saturation was 92 81%, baseline 90 32% was normal, tachycardia presented in 9 68%, variability was absent in 25 81%, minimal in 35 48%, and normal in 38 71%, no accelerations were observed in 25 81% and 1 - 4 accelerations in 51 61% and ≥ 5 in 22 58%, and decelerations of type III in 16 13% When analyzing comorbidity vs no comorbidity, tachycardia was found in 11 11% vs 9 09%, absent variability 22 22% vs 27 27%, minimum variability 22 22% vs 40 91%, absent accelerations in 11 11% vs 31 82%, and decelerations of type III 11 11% vs 13 64% Conclusions: Tachycardia was found in 9 68%, variability absent, and no accelerations in 25 81%, which indicates that a little more than 25% present signs of fetal hypoxia;therefore, antepartum and intrapartum monitoring is necessary © 2021 Seventh Sense Research Group
