DOPPLER STUDY IN HIGH-RISK PREGNANCIES IN THIRD TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCIES FOR PREDICTION OF ADVERSE PERINATAL OUTCOME
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 34
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our study aimed to evaluate the Doppler value in third trimester of pregnancy where the features at risk is suspected. The patient with abnormal findings are identified and intervened for timely confinement. After delivery, the neonates were also taken care and the outcome were analysed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study conducted from June 2015 to October 2016 in Add Annex Healthcare Centre and Hi-Tech Medical College, Bhubaneswar. The case referred from the SCB Medical College, Cuttack, and Hi-Tech Medical College. Around 50 randomly selected cases beyond 28 wks. of pregnancy with foetus risk were studied. RESULTS The study shows that the abnormal perinatal outcomes are more with abnormal findings in different arteries (Umbilical ArteryUA, Middle Cerebral Artery-MCA, Maternal Uterine Artery-MUA), i.e. 10 out of 19. But, in cases with normal fetoplacental perfusion, the perinatal outcome is much better, i.e. 4 out of 14. CONCLUSION Doppler study by an expert hand offers a tremendous potential in identification of fetoplacental perfusion defect and then timely inversion of pregnancies with “foetus at risk” and decreases the neonatal deaths and maternal morbidity.
