Key result
Fetal nor-adrenalin over 90 ng/dl is linked to severe metabolic acidosis.
Observational (n=70)
No
Absolute Event Rate: 67.9% vs 48.4%
p-value: p=<0.01
Exploratory catecholamine correlations with fetal monitoring parameters may inform physiology; leaves open prospective validation before any clinical use.
Article Plasma-nor-adrenalin and adrenalin concentrations in feto-maternal blood: Their relations to feto-maternal endocrine levels, cardiotocographic and mechanocardiographic values, and umbilical arterial blood biochemical profilings was published on January 1, 1979 in the journal Journal of Perinatal Medicine (volume 7, issue 6).

Kaneoka et al. (1979) conducted an observational in High-risk pregnancy (n=70). Fetal plasma nor-adrenalin concentration > 90 ng/dl vs. Fetal plasma nor-adrenalin concentration 0-29 ng/dl was evaluated on Umbilical arterial hydrogen ion [H+] concentration (nM/L) (p=<0.01). Fetal plasma nor-adrenalin concentrations exceeding 90 ng/dl were significantly associated with severe metabolic acidosis, including increased umbilical arterial hydrogen ion and lactate levels.
