Abstract

We have encountered a case of isolated fetal tachycardia that we could not detect specific pathology except COVID-19. Even if the patients are asymptomatic, it should be considered that the systemic changes of the disease may affect the fetus. If the cardiotocograph shows fetal tachycardia after clinicians optimize the maternal environment to rectify, it should be considered that COVID-19 may lead to transient and isolated fetal tachycardia. Therefore, it should be administered with careful fetal monitoring not only for tachycardia but also for fetal hypoxia and stress in COVID-19-positive asymptomatic pregnant women.

Özet

COVID-19 dışında spesifik patolojiyi saptayamadığımız izole fetal taşikardi vakasıyla karşılaştık. Hastalar asemptomatik olsa bile, hastalığın sistemik değişikliklerinin fetusu etkileyebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır. Klinisyenler maternal ortamı düzeltmek için optimize ettikten sonra kardiyotokografi fetal taşikardi gösteriyorsa, COVID-19'un geçici ve izole fetal taşikardiye yol açabileceği düşünülmelidir. Bu nedenle COVID-19 pozitif asemptomatik gebelerde sadece taşikardi için değil aynı zamanda fetal hipoksi ve stres için de dikkatli fetal monitörizasyon ile uygulanmalıdır.
