A Prospective Study

This was a prospective study conducted in pregnant patients with high risk factors who got admitted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Care Hospital, Jamnagar during the period from May 2018 to September 2020. Background: High-risk pregnancies causes many adverse perinatal outcomes. Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive technique to study the feto-maternal circulation to guide the clinical management. Objective: This study aims at evaluating the role of colour Doppler in high-risk pregnancies and their perinatal outcome. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study carried out for 29 months in the Department of Radiology with antenatal women in the age group of 18-35 years with singleton pregnancy of gestational age of <28 weeks to >35 weeks having high-risk factors considered in study. The risk factors considered were pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), gestational diabetes, anemia, oligohydramnios, polyhydramnios and IUGR. Doppler study of umbilical artery and fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) arteries was done and amniotic fluid index (AFI) was measured. Parameters in the form of resistive index, pulsatility index, and systolic/diastolic ratio were taken. obstetric history was taken with regular interval follow up. Results: The study was carried out with 50 patients. High-risk pregnancy was more common in the age group of 21-25 years. The most common high-risk factor in pregnancy was oligohydramnios which accounted for 30% of cases. Out of 50 high-risk pregnancies, 5 (10 %) of cases resulted in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Out of 50 high-risk cases, in 36 cases, umbilical artery findings were abnormal. 3 patients had intrauterine death (IUD) and 27 patients had poor perinatal outcome. Umbilical artery abnormality showed significant sensitivity and negative predictive value for adverse (poor + IUD) perinatal. Correlation was seen between high risk pregnancy and need of emergency caesarean section and induction and associated adverse perinatal outcome. Conclusion: Combination of different arterial waveform study enhance the diagnostic accuracy in identifying those intrauterine growth restricted foetuses that were at risk. Keywords: Colour Doppler, high risk pregnancy, perinatal outcome.

Background and Objectives: To evaluate the role of Doppler ultrasonography in predicting the perinatal outcome in high-risk pregnancy and to establish its role in management of high-risk pregnancy. Materials and Methods: The present study is a prospective study of Doppler ultrasound evaluation of uterine artery, umbilical artery and middle cerebral artery in 100 high-risk pregnant women, performed between 28 and 34 weeks of gestation. Doppler index Pulsatility index (PI) for each above mentioned artery and cerebro-placental ratio (CPR) will be calculated. Doppler Pulsatility index for the corresponding gestational age were compared with the reference values. The results of the Doppler ultrasound and AFI will be used for analysis of mode of delivery and perinatal outcome in the form of birth weight, APGAR score, NICU admission, perinatal mortality. Results: Among newborns 46(46%) were admitted to NICU, 64(64%) of neonates had birth weight less than 2.5kg, there were 17 perinatal deaths. Of the 17 perinatal deaths, 2 cases had reverse end diastolic Flow (REDF) and 12 had absent end diastolic Flow (AEDF). Uterine artery PI was most sensitive(72.3%) than Umbilical artery PI(sensitivity 59.6%) and MCA PI(sensitivity 68.1%). Diagnostic accuracy of Cerebroplacental ratio (accuracy71%) was better than Umbilical artery PI (accuracy 65%) and MCA PI(accuracy 70%) in predicting adverse outcomes. Conclusion: Triple vessel colour Doppler sonography is very useful in high-risk pregnancy diagnosis and in predicting perinatal outcome.

Fetal Surveillance

Background: Fetal biophysical profile is a well-established method of antepartum surveillance in high risk pregnancy. Classical biophysical profile with all parameters (fetal breathing movements, fetal tone, fetal gross body movements, amniotic fluid volume and non-stress test) needs two phase testing by ultrasound and external Doppler monitor to record fetal heart rate, is more cumbersome, time consuming and expensive.Methods: This study was a prospective clinical study which consisted of 70 patients having pregnancy with high risk factors. The patients were evaluated with the modified biophysical profile consisting of NST recording for 20mins, followed ultrasound assessment of amniotic fluid volume, using four quadrant technique.Results: When the Modified biophysical profile is normal, it gives reassurance that the fetal status is good with good perinatal outcome. When the MBPP is abnormal there is increased incidence of perinatal morbidity as well as mortality.Conclusions: Modified biophysical profile is an effective primary antepartum fetal surveillance test in high risk pregnancies in predicting perinatal outcome.
