OC30.02: Discrepancy in Doppler waveforms between two umbilical arteries in high-risk pregnancies

Antenatal assessment of discordant umbilical arteries in singleton pregnancies.

AIM To assess the relationship between discordant umbilical arterial size and resultant blood flow parameters and determine the impact of discordance on fetal outcome. METHODS This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study of 200 patients with a singleton gestation, who underwent a fetal anatomy survey between 18 to 23 weeks of gestation, with documented umbilical cord morphological patterns an...

Onm-13: Prenatal Care in High-Risk Pregnancies

Prenatal care is more than just health care in pregnancy. For the vast majority of women, pregnancy follows a routine course. Some women, however, have medical difficulties related to their health or the health of their baby. These women experience what is called a high-risk pregnancy. A pregnancy may be considered high-risk for a variety of reasons. Some of these include: diabetes, preeclampsi...

Fetal Hemodynamic Parameters in Low Risk Pregnancies: Doppler Velocimetry of Uterine, Umbilical, and Middle Cerebral Artery

Objective. To elaborate curves of longitudinal reference intervals of pulsatility index (PI) and systolic velocity (SV) for uterine (UtA), umbilical (UA), and middle cerebral arteries (MCA), in low risk pregnancies. Methods. Doppler velocimetric measurements of PI and SV from 63 low risk pregnant women between 16 and 41 weeks of gestational age. Means (±SD) for intervals of gestational age and ...

Umbilical Cord Blood CD33 and Erythropoietin Levels of Pregnants with Abnormal Doppler Waveforms and to Compare with Normal Pregnancies

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate umbilical cord blood CD33 and erythropoietin (EPO) levels of pregnants with abnormal umbilical and uterine artery doppler waveforms and to compare with normal pregnancies. Materials and Methods: Total 40 pregnant women were included in this study. Of these 40 women, while 20 patients had abnormal umbilical and uterine artery doppler waveforms, t...
