Evaluation of Fetal Outcome by Usg Colour Doppler in Patients of Pih With and Without Fetal Growth Restriction

Abstract

Detection of fetal hypoxia with Doppler flow studies of Umbilical Artery (UA) & Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA), to reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality by timely intervention. Evaluation of foetal health in cases of severe PIH & IUGR by Doppler flow studies of UA and MCA flow velocimetry. Gestational age and mode of delivery, Evaluation of the perinatal outcome & Cut-off values of RI, PI and S/D ratio of UA and MCA to identify IUGR.
 IUGR was higher in patients with PIH (76.6%) in comparison to the control group (50.0%). Only 76.7% patients with PIH had an apgar of > 7, while all control group patients had apgar of > 7. 28 (46.6%) neonates needed NICU support and 1 neonate expired, while 100% of control group neonates were shifted to mother.
 In both control and study groups weight of IUGR babies was significantly lower in comparison to their non-IUGR counterparts (by USG and actual)
