Poster abstracts newborn, umbilical artery power Doppler with zero or reverse enddiastolic blood flow (blood flow class IIIa/IIIb) or changes in venous duct blood flow. We collected data about pregnancy, prenatal ultrasound examinations and result of pregnancy. Results: 20 pregnancies were included. All women underwent caesarian section. Indication was severe maternal complication, worsening of power Doppler or deterioration of the fetus. 4 children died in postnatal period, 3 have some birth defects. Mean time of first ultrasound was 29+2g.w.11 fetuses had zero flow and 6 had reverse enddiastolic blood flow in umbilical artery. Mean estimated body weight was on 4.1 th centile, mean pulsatile index in umbilical artery 2.39 (SD0.32) and cerebroplacental ratio 0.65 (SD0.18). Mean gestation week at delivery 29+5g.w, fetal body weight 891 g, Apgar score at 5 th min 8, 10 th min 9, arterial pH7.25 (SD1.69) and venous pH7.3 (SD1.63). Conclusions: Management of perinatal care of early onset IUGR with signs of blood flow redistribution is based on values of pulsatile index of umbilical artery, medial cerebral artery, venous duct and its pattern. Extreme or severe prematurity and maternal hypertensive complication are important factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
