Observational Study On The Impact Of Pregnancy On Functional Status, Hemodynamic Variables, VO2 Max, And Spo2 In Women.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim:This observational study aimed to investigate the impact of pregnancy on various physiological parameters including functional status, hemodynamic variables, VO2 max, and SpO2 in pregnant women.
Methodology:A sample of 100 pregnant women in their second trimester was recruited for this study. Functional status was assessed using scale, while hemodynamic variables were measured through pulse oximeter and formula. Additionally, VO2 max and SpO2 were evaluated using. Data were analyzed using to determine any significant differences compared to non-pregnant controls.
Results:Systolic BP and Diastolic BP show significant positive correlation (p < 0.05). Pulse rate correlates significantly positively with both Systolic and Diastolic BP (p < 0.0001). SPO2 and VO2 MAX do not show significant correlations with other parameters except for a negative correlation between SPO2 and VO2 MAX (p < 0.05).
Conclusions. This study highlights the importance of understanding the physiological changes during pregnancy and their potential implications for maternal health.
