METHOD OF PREDICTING DEVELOPMENT OF SPONTANEOUS BIRTH ACTIVITY IN WOMEN WITH ANTENATAL DISCHARGE OF AMNIOTIC FLUID Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B5/53 A61B5/205 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to obstetrics and deals with prediction of development of spontaneous birth activity in women with antenatal discharge of amniotic fluid. For this purpose resistocervocometry is carried out. Additionally stroke test and Dagnini-Ashner test are carried out. In case of resistance 100-240 Ohm by data of resistocervocometry, observation of red dermographism with hidden period up to 15 sec and visible longer than 20 minutes, as well as pulse depression on 6-12 beats/min, beginning of birth activity during 6 hours is predicted. In pregnant women with resistance 241-270 Ohm, transient dermographism with hidden period 16-20 sec and visible up to 19 minutes and pulse depression on 2-5 beats/min, beginning of birth activity within 12 hours is predicted. In women with resistance higher than 271 Ohm, observation of white dermographism, absence of pulse depression in Dagnini-Asher test, beginning of birth activity in 12 hours and more is predicted.

EFFECT: method ensures possibility of individual selection of tactics of labour management at the background of antenatal discharge of amniotic fluid, and as a result, development of complications.
