From 23 weeks of gestation some and from 28 weeks all healthy fetuses are capable of reacting to sound stimulation. The intrauterine acoustic environment is dominated by maternal sounds--heartbeat, breathing, the mothers voice, borborygmi and sounds caused by body movements. Background noise is never below 28 dB and can rise to 84 dB when the mother is singing. Noises that are meant to reach the fetus must be louder than the background noise and must be of low frequency as high frequency sounds are damped by maternal tissue. Vibroacoustic stimulation tests (VAST) have become popular in pregnancy surveillance over the last 20 years, mostly using an artificial larynx. Advantages and problems of the various VAST protocols in fetal monitoring are discussed in the light of animal experiments and clinical studies. Health legislation laws in most countries forbid pregnant women to work in surroundings with a high noise level (80 dB continuous noise and/or rapid impulse noise changes of 40 dB). Whereas regulations for pregnant women are easy to enforce in industry, pregnant women employed in discos or performing as musicians spend most of their working day exposed to noise impact higher than the recommended limit.

Blood flow velocity waveforms recorded in the fetal ductus arteriosus were related to fetal heart rate pattern (FHRP) in 13 normal pregnancies at 27-29 weeks of gestation. Recording time was always 65 min or more. In three women no low fetal heart rate (FHRP-A) variability was present, in the remaining 10 women high fetal heart rate (FHRP-B) variability was established in 80% of the recording time. There was no statistically significant difference between FHRP-A and FHRP-B pattern for all ductal flow velocity parameters, indicating rest-activity state independency in late second and early third trimester pregnancy.

To establish the relationship between flow velocity waveform patterns from the fetal pulmonary trunk and ductus arteriosus in normal late first- and second-trimester pregnancies, Doppler ultrasound examinations in these vessels were performed in 133 healthy women between 9 and 25 weeks of gestation. Differentiation between pulmonary and ductal blood flow was possible as from 12 weeks onwards resulting in a study population of 78 women. A linear gestational age-dependent increase in peak systolic velocity was found for both the pulmonary trunk and the ductus arteriosus. Ductal peak systolic velocity rose significantly faster with gestational age than pulmonary peak systolic velocity. This may be determined by differences in morphology and effective lumen between these two vessels.

Bei 83 Frauen, die vor der 30. Schwangerschaftswoche (SSW) wegen Verdachtes auf intrauterine Wachstumsretardierung eingewiesen worden waren, wurde bis zur Geburt des Kindes im 4-Wochen-Abstand der Harn auf epidermalen Wachstumfaktor (EGF) hin untersucht. Als Vergleich dienten die EGF-Werte im Harn von 138 gesunden Frauen, die normalgewichtige Kinder zur Welt gebracht hatten. Dreissig der 83 Frauen brachten nach der 37. SSW ein Kind zur Welt, das unter der 10er Perzentile von Hohenauer lag. Diese Frauen wiesen im Verlauf der Schwangerschaft zwar signifikant niedrigere EGF-Werte auf als die Schwangeren der Kontrollgruppe mit ihren normalgewichtigen Kindern; allerdings zeigte sich, dass durch die Streuung der Ergebnisse in beiden Kollektiven keine für die klinische Entscheidung im Einzelfall verwertbare Trennlinie zwischen «wachstumsretardiert» und «normalgewichtig» festgelegt werden kann.

Colour Velocity Imaging stellt eine Verfeinerung und Verbesserung der Farbdopplermethode dar: Mit Hilfe digitaler Berechnung der intravasalen Bewegung der Blutpartikel wird eine wesentlich grosere Tiefscharfe erzielt als beim konventionellen Farbdoppler. Auserdem konnen Unterschiede innerhalb des Geschwindigkeitsprofils des Blutstroms in einem isolierten Blutgefas dargestellt werden. Ziel dieser Studie war es, zu untersuchen, wie die CVI-Technik bestimmte ungeklarte Fragen zur Physiologie des normalen fetalen ductus arteriosus klaren kann.
