Doppler Flow Velocity Waveform Analysis in Postdate Pregnancies

Abstract: This study examines the efficiency of Doppler flow velocity waveform analysis in the evaluation of the postdate pregnancy. Seventy women whose pregnancies were at or beyond 41 weeks' gestation were assessed by calculating the systolic/diastolic ratios from umbilical and uteroplacental arteries. Waveform ratios from pregnancies associated with fetal compromise and abnormal neonatal outcome were similar to those from pregnancies in which the outcome was normal. These findings indicate that the pathophysiology of… Show more

“…Many investigators advise twice weekly testing with some evaluation of amniotic fluid volume at least weekly (65). Doppler ultrasonography seems to have no benefit in monitoring the postterm fetus and is not routinely recommended for this indication (67). Although the data is inconsistent, there is a suggestion that antenatal testing at 40 to 42 weeks of gestation may be associated with improvements in perinatal outcome.…”

“…45 Doppler evaluation does not seem to be useful in postterm pregnancies and is not routinely recommended. 46 Evaluation of amniotic fluid is important as oligohydramnios may predispose to cord compression, fetal distress, and meconium passage and may be an indicator of placental insufficiency. 47 Adverse neonatal outcomes are more common in the presence of oligohydramnios postterm, and delivery is indicated.…”

“…La plupart des auteurs ne retrouvent pas de différence significative pour les doppler ombilicaux et utérins entre les groupes de patientes avec issue défavorable et le groupe de patientes avec issue favorable [26,53,[55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. L'hypothèse avancée étant que la morbidité foetale de ces grossesses après 41 SA serait due à une insuffisance placentaire, non pas par altération des flux placentaires, mais par diminution du transport d'oxygène, de nutriments et d'échanges métaboliques en raison d'une anomalie intrinsèque du tissu placentaire « âgé ».…”

“…Cette analyse est rendue difficile par une littérature hétérogène avec des faibles effectifs, une inclusion des patientes à 41 SA ou 42 SA, des grossesses à bas ou haut risque, des indices doppler différents, des critères variables définissant une issue défavorable (anomalie du RCF ; apparition de liquide méconial ; Apgar < 7 à cinq minutes, oligoamnios, pH < 7,20) et une métho-dologie souvent insuffisante. De plus, bien que l'ensemble des études aient inclus des patientes à bas risque supé-rieur ou égal à 41 SA, certains ont exclu les oligoamnios [57,60,63,68] alors que d'autres ont inclus le LA dans leur surveillance et donc ont évalué les doppler dans certaines grossesses avec oligoamnios [26,53,55,56,58,61,62,[64][65][66][67] rendant l'interprétation encore plus délicate. Ces résultats sont résumés dans le Tableau 2.…”
