Fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring is commonly used in order to reduce fetal intrapartum asphyxia or any associated long-term disabilities. The electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) was first described by Hon and others during the 1960s (1) (2) and introduced into clinical practice before any clear
Cardiac palliative/ correction surgeries in the newborns, infants, and children involve significant morbidity and mortality risks. Kidney function is frequently affected from cardiothoracic surgery in these children. Studies identify the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) to be approximately 54%
Acute Kidney Injury is defined as the inability of the kidneys to excrete nitrogenous waste products and maintain fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. It is fairly common in newborn population and is a major contributor factor of neonatal mortality and morbidity.
The most common form of Acute Kidney
Cerebral palsy as complication of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is common problem in Egypt.cerebral palsy is associated with many problems (cognitive disability-epilepsy-visual and hearing problems) that make great economic burden on their family and health care system. In 2010, the prevalence of
The aim of the study is to validate the application of combinations of several laboratory parameters in early postnatal blood samples, for identification of infants, who will suffer from early abnormal neonatal neurological outcome, in a population at risk.
The population at risk is defined as term

Background:
Each year an estimated 2.6 million stillbirths occur globally. Nearly half, 1.2 million, of these occur intrapartum and an additional 650,000 children are born alive but die soon after birth due to birth asphyxia which is caused by hypoxia during labor. The vast majority of these deaths
BACKGROUND:
Preterm birth is a major health care concern and although survival of premature infants has improved, the incidence of neonatal morbidities has slightly decreased especially in cases of extreme prematurity. Apnea of prematurity (immature respiratory control) is a major complication in
Background and current knowledge in the area:
Perinatal asphyxia is one of the commonest causes of neonatal death and long term disability, occurring in 20 per 1000 live births. Of these, approximately 2-3 per 1000 will go on to develop hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) (1). In Ireland and the
Approximately 10-15% of deliveries are complicated by the passage of meconium around the time of delivery.An adverse intrauterine environment with resultant fetal asphyxia is proposed as the most common explanation for in-utero passage of meconium.
Aspiration of meconium into the tracheo-bronchial
Globally, an estimated 1.8 to 7.7 infants per 1000 live term births suffer from perinatal asphyxia, which remains an important cause of neonatal encephalopathy (NE) and neurodevelopmental impairment. Over the last six years, several randomized control trials have demonstrated that prolonged and
The value of STAN (ST analysis) was assessed in 2 randomized trials and shows: 1) A reduction in the incidence of severe hypoxia in fetuses during labor and 2) A reduction in frequency of redemption with suction and caesarean section due to lack of oxygen during the birth process.
