Fetal heart-rate monitoring during maternal hypoglycaemic coma: a case report.
Contradictory descriptions exist concerning the fetal heart-rate (FHR) patterns that appear during maternal hypoglycaemia. We report a case of maternal hypoglycaemic coma during which a FHR tracing was obtained showing a normal type D accelerative pattern.
