dc.description.abstract | Objective: To identify the fetal heart rate patterns that occurred in a 2‐h period of time preceding uterine rupture. Methods: The fetal monitor strips and the medical records of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of uterine rupture were reviewed. These patients delivered at the University of Michigan Hospital from January 1, 1985 to December 31, 1999 and were ≥28 weeks gestational age. Asymptomatic uterine scar dehiscences were excluded. The weeks of gestation, the number of cesarean sections, the surgical findings, and the maternal complications were obtained from the review of the maternal records. The fetal monitor strips for the 2 h preceding the uterine rupture were analyzed, and the fetal heart rate patterns were classified. Results: During the study period, there were 11 patients identified with uterine rupture. Seven of the 11 (64%) had operative or post‐operative complications. There were no maternal deaths. Review of the eight fetal heart rate tracings available revealed 7/8 (87.5%) with recurrent late decelerations and 4/8 (50%) with terminal bradycardia. All four of the patients with fetal bradycardia were preceded by recurrent late decelerations (100%). Conclusions: The most common fetal heart rate abnormalities that occurred prior to uterine rupture were recurrent late decelerations and bradycardia. The appearance of recurrent late decelerations may be an early sign of impending uterine rupture. | |
