The Role of Obstetric Doppler Velocimetry Studies In Predicting Mode of Delivery and Perinatal Outcome

Abstract

Background: The antenatal fetal surveillance aims at detecting any evidence of fetal jeopardy at the earliest. The practice of routine late third trimester obstetric ultrasound with Doppler Velocimetry has been shown to improve detection of fetal growth restriction at an early stage when prompt measures can be taken. Ultrasonography with Doppler Velocimetry has become a useful tool in antenatal surveillance because of its safety, non-invasiveness and reliability in antenatal fetal surveillance. This study was done to analyze the role of Obstetric Doppler Velocimetry studies in predicting mode of delivery and perinatal outcome. Methods: The study was carried out in 112 pregnant females attending the antenatal clinic at
