 | | The circulatory system of a human fetus works differently from that of born humans, mainly because the lungs are not in use: the fetus obtains oxygen and nutrients from the mother through the placenta and the umbilical cord. | | | Fetal hemoglobin enhances the fetus' ability to draw oxygen from the placenta. | | | Maternal, Fetal, and Neonatal Physiology: A Clinical Perspective |

| | Unfortunately, to demonstrate this concept, it is necessary to perform a longitudinal study on severely IUGR fetuses up to the point of fetal demise. | | | Based on our personal experience, there are several phases of utero-placental insufficiency that may reflect changes in fetal hemodynamics. | | | At present, the condition of fetuses with IUGR can accurately be assessed by sequential studies of Doppler waveforms from different vascular areas. |

| | Recent literature by Siristatidis et al suggests that fetal pulse oximetry is reassuring of fetal well-being when the oxygen saturation as measured using pulse oximetry is greater than 35% and may provide clinicians with additional options for management in labor. | | | The symmetrically grown infants who were SGA had outcomes very similar to the infants who were appropriate for gestational age and very different prognoses than the asymmetrically SGA fetuses, thus reinforcing the concept of using growth parameters for diagnostic and outcome counseling. | | | Several studies have addressed prognostic factors influencing outcome and have consistently reported that the dominant influence on survival is gestational age at birth. |

| | Premature Birth Raises Future Stillbirth Risk |
| | Researchers say recognizing the early signs of growth problems in the fetus may one day help prevent future stillbirths. | | | But effective interventions must first be developed to treat these problems. | | | Although many of the causes of stillbirth are not understood, researchers say fetal growth restriction may be a major factor. |

| | "We draw up the potential growth curve for this particular baby, considering the mother's height and weight, her ethnic origin, which pregnancy it is and the size of any previous babies. | | | We believe this could have a major impact on the incidence of stillbirth." | | | However, when adjusting for an individual woman's circumstances, still one in 10 normal pregnancies could possibly be identified as having fetal growth restriction and we have to be careful not to generate unnecessary anxiety. |
