[Changes in the biochemical indices of parturients with uterine inertia against the background of therapy].

A comparison was made of some biochemical parameters for energy metabolism, acid-base balance, blood gases and uterine contractility in parturients with uterine inertia who were on therapy with or without hyperbaric oxygenation. The presence of hypoxemia and metabolic acidosis in the parturients was found to intensify the processes of lipid peroxidation, to affect the functional status of myometrial biomembranes, to result in hyperenzymemia and disturbed tissue metabolism and lower myometrial contractility. The use of hyperbaric oxygenation in the multimodality therapy for uterine inertia was ascertained to eliminate oxygen deficiency, to increase tissue respiration, contributing to normal labor.
