A study was conducted in 1352 live births, 1344 deliveries have taken place in the "Edgardo Rebagliati Martins" National Hospital - IPSS - in Lima, between 1 and May 31, 1985, in order to determine the incidence of suffering acute fetal (SFA) compensated or decompensated. It detected 215 (15.90%) of SFA, 172 (12.72%) of whom belonged to group A and 43 (3.18%) in group B, having found a higher incidence of fetal distress to that reported in the literature unbalanced. Pregnancy hypertensive disease was most often related to breast pathology SFA. Cesarean section was performed in 27% of the population in distress. Caesarean section and instrumental delivery had a high incidence in the group with decompensated (55.81% and 27.91%, respectively) SFA, recording no statistically significant differences between groups and offset control. The Apgar in newborns with SFA was lower than in the contro...
