The energy expenditure in 23 healthy parturient women during spontaneous labor was assessed by continuous measurement of their O2 consumption and CO2 production. Due to the intermittent character of uterine contractions, normal labor and delivery did not impose high energy demands on the parturient, whereas a prolonged labor and delivery in which energy input was high led to maternal metabolic disturbances.
通过持续测量23名健康产妇在自然分娩过程中的耗氧量和二氧化碳生成量，评估了她们的能量消耗。由于子宫收缩具有间歇性，正常分娩对产妇的能量需求并不高，而能量输入较高的长时间分娩则会导致产妇代谢紊乱。
