Assessment and Comparison of Color Doppler Indices in IUGR and Normal Fetuses.

Abstract

Introduction: Fetal growth restriction (FGR), also known as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is defined when estimated fetal weight is below 10th percentile for a given gestational age. It is a pathological process that modifies the growth potential of the fetus and restricts its intrauterine development. It is associated with increased risk of perinatal morbidity, mortality and long term complications. Doppler is used to determine vascular resistance and end organ function. Doppler assessment is mainly done of umbilical artery (UA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and ductus venosus (DV). Evaluation of placental and fetal Doppler blood flow has significantly altered the management of FGR. In this study we evaluated and compared colour doppler indices, pregnancy and perinatal outcome between IUGR and healthy foetuses. Materials and Methods : In this study 40 patient of each group ( Healthy women & women with IUGR ) are taken after informed consent. All subjects were subjected to standard ultrasound and color doppler indices. Various parameters of study recorded. The data thus collected and were analysis. Results: All fetoplacental Doppler parameters were significantly jeopardised in the IUGR group. Pregnancy and perinatal outcome were poor in IUGR group. Conclusion: Doppler is more sensitive in early detection of foetal compromises and thus aids in the appropriate timing of delivery.
