Biophysical Profile

Background: High risk pregnant women have increased risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Antepartum surveillance is important and should be effective in such conditions. Modified biophysical profile is the method of antepartum surveillance which comprises of cardiotocography and amniotic fluid index. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital from February 2019 to January 2020 to determine the effectiveness of modified biophysical profile. Cardiotocography was interpreted as reactive, equivocal and non-reactive. AFI was considered normal if it was 5 to 24 cm. In the study 172 high risk cases at term and not in labor were included. Each case was subjected to cardiotocography then amniotic fluid index was obtained using real time sonography where it was measured from all four quadrants. Modified biophysical results were obtained and then were divided into 2 arms as normal modified biophysical profile and abnormal modified biophysical profile then analysis was done. Results: Of 172 cases, there were 97 (56.4%) cases in normal modified biophysical profile and remaining 75 (43.6%) in abnormal modified biophysical profile group. The rate of cesarean section increased when there was abnormal modified biophysical profile.  Neonatal resuscitation and admission was increased in abnormal modified biophysical profile. Conclusions: Normal modified biophysical profile in high risk pregnancy had more cases of vaginal delivery and less adverse fetal outcome like low APGAR score, neonatal resuscitation and neonatal intensive care admission. Keywords: Amniotic fluid index; cardiotocography; fetal surveillance; modified biophysical profile

Doppler Echography

Fetal distress is an alteration of the fetus maternal exchange with disorder in the metabolism due to complications of high-risk pregnancies that affect the well-being of the fetus, Evaluation by Doppler echography and amniotic fluid index can help us to diagnose fetal distress; the Objective of the research was to analyze the Brain placenta index and amniotic fluid index in high-risk pregnancies as a predictor of low Apgar; We investigated pregnant women who attended the hospital Alfredo G Paulson performing Doppler ultrasounds, the result when evaluating the pathologies of high Risk comparing ALI with Apgar was (p.208) and BPI with Apgar was (p.064) which indicates that there are differences so we came to the conclusion that they do not predict if the fetus at the time of birth would present Apgar bass.

Low Risk Pregnancy

Background: Amniotic fluid index (AFI) is kind of an estimate of the amount of amniotic fluid. It is an index for the fetal well-being. The aim was to study fetal and maternal out come in cases of low AFI and normal AFI.Methods: This was a case control prospective comparative study performed on 200 randomly selected low risk pregnant patients at term (37-40 weeks of gestation) admitted in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department. 100 patients with AFI <5 cm (cases) and 100 patients with AFI 8-20 cm (control).Results: Increased number of LSCS in cases that is 35 while only 10 in control and almost equal incidences of MSL and FD in both the groups, while in cases 17 women were planned for elective LSCS for various indications in expectation of better fetal outcome.  There was significant low APGAR score in babies of cases, but clinically we refute this. In present study almost double the no. of babies in cases was IUGR or FGR. Significant association between low AFI and congenital anomalies in babies. Most of the anomalies were of urinary tract system.Conclusions: An AFI ≤5 cm detected at term that was at or after 37 completed weeks of gestation in a low risk pregnancy was an indicator of poor perinatal outcome. Oligohydramnios was being detected more frequently now-a-days due to ready availability of ultrasonography these days.
