BIOPHYSICAL TEST : THE FIRST EXAM SHOULD CONFIRM THE CLINICAL ESTIMATION OF THE GESTATIONAL AGE
Fetal distress / death. • Asphyxia & RDS. • Hypoglycemia. • Meconium aspiration syndrome. • Hypothermia. • Pulmonary hemorrhage. • May have retarded growth . • May have cardiac disease, diabetes, in adulthood, if survives. • Long term complications Lower IQ, learning & behavior problems, major neurological handicap seizures, cerebral palsy, mental retardation
Adequate bed rest. • Nutritional diet / iron, vitamins, calcium. • No smoking / alcohol allowed. • Aspirin in low dose (50 mg daily). • Ultrasound monitoring of fetus should be done every 4th wks. • Termination of pregnancy – beyond 37 week. • Before 37 week – conservative t/t to increase placental function till fetus becomes viable.
Severe degree of IUGR – termination is to be done if lung maturation is achieved. - If lung maturation has not been achieved corticosteroid therapy (betnasol 12 mg i.m. 24 hrs apart – 2 doses given to reduce the risk of neonatal RDS) 9. CS – to be done in the case of preterm delivery & unfavorable cervix. 10. Baby should be shifted to intensive neonatal care unit.
