    Notes: Objective To examine the management of cord prolapse and its morbidity and mortality.Design Retrospective study of consecutive babies born after cord prolapse, identified using the Oxford Obstetric Data System, and those with registered handicap, identified by the Oxford Region Register of Early Childhood Impairments.Setting District maternity hospital managing more than 6000 deliveries annually.Subjects One hundred and thirty–two babies born after the identification of cord prolapse in the John Radcliffe Hospital between January 1984 and December 1992.Main outcome measures Survival rates, condition at birth assessed by Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes and blood gas values on cord blood samples, and incidence of major handicap at three years of age.Results The incidence of cord prolapse was 1 in 426 total births. There were six stillbirths and six neonatal deaths. One baby died as a result of birth asphyxia. The uncorrected perinatal mortality rate was 91 per 1000. Of 120 survivors, only one baby was known to suffer a major neurological handicap. Electronic cardiotocographs aided the diagnosis of cord prolapse in 41 % of cases. Apgar scores were better with a shorter diagnosis to delivery interval, but cord gas results did not correlate well with Apgar scores or the diagnosis to delivery interval.Conclusions Cord prolapse occurs with a relatively stable incidence in this population irrespective of changes in obstetric practices. Despite the high incidence of ominous cardiotocographs, low Apgar scores and acidaemia on blood gas analysis, the fetal outcome is not as poor as might be expected and mortality is predominantly attributable to congenital anomalies and prematurity rather than birth asphyxia.

    Notes: Objective To investigate the relation between anti-D concentrations in maternal serum, fetal serum and amniotic fluid, and the development of fetal anaemia.Design Observational cross sectional and longitudinal study.Setting Regional referral centre.Subjects Sixty-one women undergoing fetal blood sampling at 19 to 36 weeks' gestation for fetal blood and haematocrit estimation for the management of Rh (D) allo-immunisation. Thirty-eight pregnancies (7 with an Rh (D) negative fetus) were tested only once but the rest had two to five fetal blood samplings.Interventions Ultrasound guided fetal blood sampling and amniocentesis, and automated analysis of anti-D antibody quantitation.Results There were strong correlations between maternal serum, fetal serum and amniotic fluid anti-D concentrations. Analyses of both longitudinal and cross sectional data demonstrated a decrease of the maternal/fetal serum anti-D ratio with gestation. In pregnancies with Rh (D) negative fetuses the maternal/fetal anti-D ratio was significantly lower (P〈0.0001) than in those with Rh (D) positive fetuses. The degree of fetal anaemia (delta haematocrit) was correlated with maternal serum and amniotic fluid anti-D concentrations (r=−0.55, n= 54, P〈0.0001; r=−0.57, n= 44, P〈0.0001, respectively) but there was a weaker correlation with fetal serum anti-D (r= 0.37, n= 54, P〈0.01).Conclusion Anti-D concentrations in maternal serum, fetal serum and amniotic fluid are correlated with fetal anaemia. The decrease in maternal/fetal anti-D ratio with gestation suggests an increase in placental permeability for anti-D with advancing pregnancy.

    Notes: Objective To compare the national statistics of England and Wales with the national statistics of France, and see if there are significant differences in obstetric care resulting in a significantly different perinatal outcome.Design Retrospective analysis of national statistics 1970–1989 (latest available figures) relating to perinatal outcome, antenatal and intrapartum care.Setting HIPE and DoH statistics (England and Wales); INSERM statistics (France).Subjects Pregnant women residents of England and Wales, and of France.Interventions Different aspects of obstetric care for which comparable data were available from national statistics.Main outcome measures Perinatal mortality rate, incidence of low birth weight and preterm delivery; type of antenatal care, number of antenatal visits and in-patient admission rate; induction of labour rate, incidence of acceleration of labour with oxytocin, incidence of spontaneous and operative deliveries and person undertaking delivery; episiotomy rate and postnatal in-patient stay.Results More antenatal intervention and marginally less intrapartum intervention in England and Wales as compared with France. No significant difference in the perinatal mortality rate, in the incidence of low birth weight or preterm delivery, with similar trends being observed over the two decades.Conclusion Significant differences in obstetric practices between the two countries without a major difference in perinatal outcome.

    Notes: Summary. Ten fetuses, severely affected by Rhesus (D) haemolytic disease, received one to three intravascular blood transfusions at between 18 and 30 weeks gestation, with the use of fetoscopically guided needles into one of the umbilical cord vessels. Although the technique was successfully accomplished in all cases, the fetal response to the procedure was varied. Only two fetuses survived beyond the neonatal period, and one child subsequently died principally because of the problems resulting from premature delivery. The reason for the low rate of survival has been explored and the continued use of the method described is now questioned.

    Notes: Summary. Labour was induced at term with vaginal instillation of prostaglandin E2 in 143 patients who had been delivered by caesarean section in a previous pregnancy. The method was simple, safe and effective with 76% achieving a vaginal delivery, and even when the cervix was very unfavourable at the time of prostaglandin treatment, 68% achieved vaginal delivery. The procedure reduces the need for repeat caesarean section with its potential morbidity, without evidence of undue risk of lower segment scar rupture.

    Notes: Using a double blind administration protocol, the effect on the cervix of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) vaginal pessaries inserted one to six hours before aspiration termination of pregnancy has been assessed. Pessaries containing 10 mg of PGE2 produced significant cervical softening and dilatation compared with those containing only 5 mg of PGE2 or placebo, the effect was almost as good as 15 mg of PGE2 but the lower dose caused fewer gastro-intestinal side-effects and uterine cramps. Blood loss at abortion and in the early post-abortal recovery period was significantly reduced following PGE2 treatment compared with placebo. The method described is simple and effective in reducing difficult cervical dilatation and is appropriate for day-care abortion management.

    Notes: The efficacy of a vaginal gel containing either 5 mg prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) or 25 mg prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) to ripen the unfavourable cervix for labour induction was assessed in a double blind trial. PGF2α, compared with PGE2, had little effect upon the clinical state of the cervix, but the resultant duration of labour in each of the two groups was shorter than in a control group. While the numbers of patients requiring oxytocin stimulation of labour and regional anal-gesia were reduced in both groups compared with the controls, PGF2α was much less effective than PGE2'. Uterine hypertonus was observed using both prosta-glandins during an experimental study and the implications are discussed.

    Notes: Eight hundred and three patients with singleton viable pregnancies and fetal cephalic presentation were given prostaglandin E, in viscous gel by intravaginal instillation the evening before planned surgical induction. When the cervix was ‘ripe’, surgical induction was avoided in 65·9 per cent of primigravidae and 87 5 per cent of multigravidae; the administration of epidural analgesia was less frequent, the rate of spontaneous vaginal delivery greater, the Caesarean section rate lower, and the state of the newborn at delivery better than in those patients who required surgical induction. Side effects attributable to the prostaglandin gel were rare as were complications.
