Introduction: Fetal Doppler ultrasound is the method of choice to identify alterations that put the fetus at risk;this tool
has revolutionized the traditional conception of Perinatology as it gives the opportunity to understand that the
pathophysiological process of the sick fetus presents a hemodynamic deterioration. Objective: To describe the
applicability of fetal Doppler ultrasound in the main extra cardiac anomalies. Methods: Bibliographic review of
scientific articles published in Spanish and English and their corresponding validation under CASPe and PRISMA tools.
Results: A bibliographic analysis of 92 citations was carried out under the aforementioned systematic search in which
the main fetal anomalies were separated under the supradiaphragmatic, infradiaphragmatic and cerebral concept.
Conclusion: There are a limited literature regarding Doppler ultrasound evaluation in relation to extra-cardiac
anomalies,and among them there are discrepancies in the findings found between various authors.
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.
