    Abstract:
    The blood flow in the fetoplacental circulation (umbilical artery) was examined by the Doppler technique in 42 labouring women with the meconium stained amniotic fluid. Ultrasound examination in the phase of cervical dilatation of 2-5 and 6-9 cm by the Doppler technique before and during contraction was carried out in each woman. Flow velocity wave-forms (FVW) of the umbilical artery were analysed by using the resistance index (RI). The ultrasonic apparatus Kranzbuhler ADR 8130 was used for measuring. The control group consisted of 54 labouring women with a clean, milky amniotic fluid. All resistance index (RI) mean values with the meconium amniotic fluid. All resistance showed a statistically significant decrease when compared to the group with the milky amniotic fluid (T = 5.91 p less than 0.01; t = 4.57 p less than 0.01; t = 5.73 p less than 0.01 t = 3.19 p less than 0.01). They probably are an indicator of the compensatory mechanism of the fetus.
