A 34-year-old gravida was diagnosed with hydrops fetalis, hydrothorax with cardiac compression, hygroma, ascites, and subcutaneous edema at 20 weeks of gestation. The peak systolic umbilical artery and middle cerebral artery velocities were 30 cm/sec and 28 cm/sec, respectively. The umbilical vein demonstrated a lowamplitude blunted waveform. The cerebral venous sinuses were imaged by color Dop...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the perinatal outcome of MC twins with selective IUGR (sIUGR). STUDY DESIGN A prospective study, which included three groups of MC twins: Group A, uncomplicated MC twin pregnancies (n = 91); group B, sIUGR with normal umbilical artery Doppler (n = 19); and group C, sIUGR with abnormal (absence or reversed EDV) umbilical artery Doppler (n = 18). The latter were routinely ...

1. The aim of this study was to define from umbilical artery flow velocity waveforms absolute peak systolic and time-averaged velocity, fetal heart rate, fetal heart rate variability and flow velocity variability, and the relation between fetal heart rate and velocity variables in early pregnancy.2.A total of 108 women presenting with a normal pregnancy from 10 to 20 weeks of gestation consente...

Background: Umbilical Doppler flow abnormalities occur in 6% of high-risk pregnancies. Preterm infants born with the umbilical artery waveforms is at a risk various complications. The objective this study were to understand and compare neonatal outcome normal verses abnormal antenatal Doppler.Methods: 100 newborns each Doppler, women singleton pregnancies 28 weeks above, enrolled for after taki...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Doppler ultrasound has become an indispensable tool in evaluating pregnancies at risk for conditions such as preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, fetal anemia, and umbilical cord abnormalities. Use of umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, and uterine artery Doppler has been the mainstay of assessment. RECENT FINDINGS Recent findings promote the use of ductus ve...

Objective: To assess the impacts of dexamethasone given to the mother on fetal Doppler flow velocity waveforms of both umbilical and fetal middle cerebral arteries in pregnancies with normal fetoplacental vascular resistance. Study Design: Prospective Study. Patients and Methods: Pregnant women between 28 weeks and 34 weeks gestation at risk of preterm labour, Preterm birth was anticipated on t...

To determine and compare accuracy of various Doppler parameters for perinatal outcome. Umbilical artery (UA), Middle cerebral artery (MCA) and Ductus Venosus for predicting adverse perinatal outcome in patients of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). 60 singleton pregnancy with clinically suspicion of IUGR/PIH or both, having gestational age of 30 wee...
