Umbilical Artery Doppler in High Risk Pregnancies
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract:High risk pregnancies present a formidable challenge to obstetricians for effective antenatal care to result in a better perinatal outcome. Doppler usg of fetal umbilical artery can help in prediction of fetal compromise. The main aim is to determine the usefulness of umbilical artery Doppler studies to predict perinatal outcome in high risk cases. It was a hospital based prospective study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Gauhati Medical College from 1st May 2013 to 30th April 2014. A total of 100 women with high risk pregnancies who attended the antenatal OPD were included in the study. In this study we observed that poor umbilical artery Doppler in high risk pregnancies is associated with significant perinatal mortality and morbidity as compared to normal Doppler. Thus Doppler USG of umbilical artery can be helpful in monitoring of antenatal high risk cases. Keywords:high risk, prospective study, monitoring, foetal, outcome.
