title: [Effects of maternal intravenous glucose administration at term or shortly before cesarean section on fetus].
abstract: In order to investigate the effects of maternal intravenous glucose administration on fetus, two groups of pregnant women were observed. In the first group, 33 cases in late pregnancy, who received 50% glucose 80ml by intravenously injection. The mean fetal heart rate and fetal movements were found to be increased, maternal and fetal blood glucose levels elevated; umbilical artery pH decreased after the administrations as compared with the control group. The results indicated that a single injection of glucose at term had no adverse effect on fetus. In the second group 23 cases who received glucose 10% 400ml by intravenous drops shortly before CS, subclinical fetal acidosis was mated. Therefore, glucose given in this way should be employed cautiously, and rapid intravenous infusion should be avoided.
