A prospective randomized trial of two solutions for intrapartum amnioinfusion: effects on fetal electrolytes, osmolality, and acid-base status
Article Abstract:
Using fluid closer in composition to amniotic fluid during amnioinfusion may not provide advantages over saline, the fluid in standard use. Amnioinfusion is replacing lost amniotic fluid via a vaginal catheter. Lack of amniotic fluid can cause or contribute to several fetal complications. Researchers randomly assigned 59 women having amnioinfusion to either saline or lactated Ringer's solution plus glucose, analyzed umbilical cord blood after birth, and compared results with samples from 20 newborns born after uncomplicated labors. Blood chemistry and blood gases were similar among all three groups.

Cross-correlation of fetal cardiac and somatic activity as an indicator of antenatal neural development
Article Abstract:
The link between fetal movement and heart rate can be used to assess neural development. A study of 106 fetuses showed a peak lag time at 32 weeks and later of five seconds between a movement and an increase in fetal heart rate.
