Ductus venosus blood flow in the evaluation of cardiac function in the presence of echogenic focus

چکیده
Methods Seventy fetuses at 19 to 28 weeks of gestation with an IEF and 63 controls were screened using two-dimensional and power Doppler echocardiography. DV wave velocities, DV velocity ratios, and diastolic time intervals were measured. The aortic peak velocity, pulmonary artery peak velocity, atrioventricular early-diastolic filling velocity (E), atrial contraction velocity (A), and E/A ratio were also measured.

I-46: Obstetrical Doppler
Accurate assessment of gestational age, fetal growth, and the detection of fetal and placental abnormalities are major benefits of sonography. Color Doppler can be used to assist in the identification of vascular architecture, detection of vascular pathology and visualization of blood flow changes associated with physiologic processes and disease states. The clinical applications of obstetrical...
متن کاملAnticipating twin-twin transfusion syndrome in monochorionic twin pregnancy. Is there a role for nuchal translucency and ductus venosus blood flow evaluation at 11-14 weeks?
Twin-twin transfusion syndrome is a major complication of monochorionic twin pregnancies. In foetuses from monochorionic twinning the presence of increased nuchal translucency thickness (NT) has been associated with an increased risk of developing this syndrome. One of the presumed mechanisms of increased NT is early cardiac failure, indirectly indicated by abnormal blood flow in the ductus ven...

Placental dysfunction resulting in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a common complication of pregnany and severe IUGR, with ensuing fetal hypoxia is an important cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Doppler studies of fetal and maternal vessels are routinely used for fetal surveillance and alterations in fetal venous blood flow has been demonstrated as a late sign of fetal compr...

Etiology of Physiologic Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia. Every newborn infant develop·s hyperbilirubinemia during the first week of life which is called "physiologic". There are several factors responsible for the development of physiologic hyperbilirubinemia, as follows: 1. Increased bilirubin production, due to a - Increased blood volume. b - Decreased R.B.C. survival time. c - Increased in...
متن کاملCardiac defects in chromosomally normal fetuses with abnormal ductus venosus blood flow at 10-14 weeks.
OBJECTIVE To assess a possible relationship between ductus venosus blood flow abnormalities and cardiac defects in chromosomally normal fetuses with increased nuchal translucency thickness at 10-14 weeks of gestation. METHODS Ductus venosus Doppler ultrasound blood flow velocity waveforms were obtained at 10-14 weeks' gestation immediately before fetal karyotyping in 200 consecutive singleton...
