[Fetal biophysical profile in EPH gestosis].

Fetal biophysical profiles (FBP) have been obtained in 111 women with toxemia of pregnancy at 34-42 weeks. Six biophysical parameters were tested: nonstress test, fetal respirations, motility and tone, amniotic fluid volume and placental maturity. The test findings were compared with pregnancy outcomes, controlling for intrapartum fetal distress. Apgar scores, intrauterine growth retardation, postdate gestation and symptoms of early neonatal adaptation, fetal or neonatal death. The values of FBP were lower with higher severity of gestational toxemia, with the greatest incidence of poor perinatal outcomes in the presence of complicated delivery.
