Doppler ultrasound in obstetrics
Fragen in diesem Quiz (7)
1Doppler ultrasonography has an established role in monitoring of the following pregnancy complications
- AIntrauterine fetal growth restriction
- BRhesus disease
- CTwin-to-twin transfusion syndrome
- DGestational diabetes
- EFetal macrosomia
2Which of the following is true regarding use of umbilical artery (UA) doppler in IUGR pregnancies?
- AAbnormal UA doppler directly correlates with a lower number of placental arteries per high power field
- BAbnormal UA doppler predicts fetal compromise with a lead time of 3 days after diagnosis
- CDiagnosis of abnormal UA doppler ultrasound affords time for useful interventions to be instituted to prolong pregnancy
- DSerial UA dopplers should be used from 32 weeks in high risk pregnancies
- EAbsent end-diastolic flow in the umbilical artery is a trigger for delivery in a fetus <32 weeks
3There is good RCT evidence for the use of fetal venous dopplers in the management of IUGR
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
4Regarding the Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) doppler in IUGR, which of the following are true?
- AMCA doppler assessment is of similar efficacy in both IUGR-affected pregnancies and the prediction of fetal anaemia in Rhesus isoimmunisation
- BIn IUGR there is 'brain sparing' effect, leading to an increased diastolic flow, hence reduction in PI.
- CThe MCA PI/ UA PI ratio (cerebro-placental ratio) is more sensitive than either measurement in isolation
- DMCA doppler is equally useful in both early and late-onset IUGR
5The role of the Ductus Venosus in IUGR. Select the true answers.
- ADV doppler acts as a marker of cardiovascular deterioration
- BAbsence or reversal of A-wave in early IUGR is a strong predictor of fetal acidaemia
- CThere are clear RCT data and consensus around use of DV and timing of delivery of the IUGR fetus
6Uterine artery doppler at 20-24 weeks gestation in low risk populations has a high predictive value for IUGR/pre-eclampsia
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
7Finally, which of the following are true?
- AAortic isthmus doppler abnormalities may precede DV changes, often by one week
- BUmbilical vein doppler abnormalities may predict right heart failure and myocardial hypoxia
- CMCA PSV can predict the existance of moderate to severe fetal anaemia with a sensitivity of 100% and false positive rate of 12%
