Study of Middle Cerebral Artery Flow Indices as a Predictor of Neonatal outcome in Intra Uterine Growth Retardation
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: The aim of the study was to correlate color Doppler changes in IUGR cases and their neonatal outcome. The study population comprised 100 pregnancies of 30-40 weeks based on reliable last menstrual period (LMP) and/or scan in the first trimester over a period of 1 year. Doppler was done and middle cerebral artery flow indices were noted and the neonatal outcomes were followed.In a longitudinal study conducted in a tertiary care hospital, among 50 pregnant females showed that the means age of study group was 25.2+ 6.1 years. Mean gestational age was 37+ 2.1 weeks. 57% had decreased amniotic fluid by 5 to 10 cm. 37% had <1 abnormal C/U RI ratio. Majority 70% had abnormal flow on Doppler scan. It was seen that the umbilical artery induces were on a higher range among the IUGR pregnancy whereas the middle cerebral artery indices were decreased. The middle cerebral artery flow and the umbilical artery flow test i.e. color Doppler are very useful in identifying the IUGR and which further helps in managing them in an appropriate way. Keywords:Intrauterine growth retardation; middle cerebral artery flow index, umbilical artery flow index
