Is intrauterine growth retardation with normal umbilical artery blood flow a benign condition?
OBJECTIVE To determine whether intrauterine growth retardation associated with normal umbilical artery blood flow is a benign condition. DESIGN A prospective comparative study of growth retarded fetuses with normal and abnormal umbilical artery blood flow. SETTING The fetal assessment clinic of a large maternity hospital in Ireland. PATIENTS 179 Women with singleton pregnancies in which t...
متن کاملAntenatal screening for intrauterine growth retardation with umbilical artery Doppler ultrasonography.
To assess the usefulness of continuous wave Doppler ultrasonography as an antenatal screening tool for the detection of intrauterine growth retardation and fetal compromise 2097 singleton pregnancies were studied. Umbilical artery velocity waveforms were obtained at 28, 34, and 38 weeks of gestation, from which the pulsatility index, A/B ratio, and resistance parameter were calculated. No abnor...
متن کاملIntrauterine growth retardation.
The recognition that some low birthweight babies (<2500 g) were the victims of intrauterine growth retardation rather than premature birth was a milestone in perinatal medicine.'3 Up to 10% of all liveborn babies and at least 30% of those of low birth weight suffer from intrauterine growth retardation; their perinatal mortality is four to 10 times higher than that of normally grown babies-both ...
متن کاملIntrauterine Growth Retardation
Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) refers to fetal growth that has been constrained in utero. It results in newborns that have not attained their full growth potential and are already malnourished at birth. Fetuses that suffer from growth retardation have higher perinatal morbidity and mortality and are more likely to experience poor cognitive development and neurologic impairment during ch...
متن کاملRenal artery blood flow velocity in very low birthweight infants with intrauterine growth retardation.
Doppler ultrasound was used to measure left renal artery blood flow velocity and pulsatility index on the first, third, and seventh day of postnatal life in 18 very low birthweight small for gestational age (SGA) infants. The values were compared with those from 18 weight matched and 18 gestation matched controls. SGA infants had significantly lower blood flow velocity than their gestation matc...
