The systolic/diastolic (S/D) ratio is a measurement of the umbilical cord artery that compares the systolic with the diastolic flow and identifies the amount of resistance in the placental vasculature. This retrospective study made a direct comparison between the S/D ratios of third-trimester fetuses and their birth weights. and low MCA-PI, regardless of fetal size, is associated independently with intrapartum fetal compromise, low neonatal blood pH and neonatal unit admission9–12. MCA-PI, UA-PI and their ratio (cerebroplacental ratio (CPR)) may have an important role to play in third-trimester assessment of fetal wellbeing and screening for fetal hypoxemia. The Fetal Medicine Foundation is aware of the General Data Protection Regulation and changes to data protection legislation. This is one of a number of legislative requirements that we must adhere to and as part of the service that you receive from us these requirements are built into our systems and processes. The regular arrhythmia seen as a consequence of fetal breathing. Calculations of resistive index, pulsatility index or SD ratio should not be taken whilst fetal breathing is occurring. Use of power doppler demonstrating fetal breathing by detecting oscillation of amniotic fluid through the nose.

The value of the middle cerebral to umbilical artery Doppler ratio in the prediction of neonatal outcome in patient with preeclampsia and gestational hypertension. Rozeta Shahinaj, In this study we evaluated the predicting value of the MCA/UA ratio, for fetal prognosis in women with gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. stolic ratio (S/D ratio), pulsatility index (PI), and resistive index (RI). By department protocol, if the umbilical cord Doppler is abnormal, the fetal MCA is sampled and an S/D ratio for the MCA is also calculated. The spectral analysis of the umbilical cord demon-strated swift upstroke to a systolic peak with loss of dia-stolic flow (Figure 1). The umbilical artey blood flow systolic to end-diastolic ratio is used as a measure of fetal compromise. The ratio decreases towards term, from about 3.5 at 24 weeks to about 2.2 at term. As the diastolic flow becomes diminished in fetal compromise, the systolic/diastolic ratio will rise.. The UA ratio at 24 weeks in a fetus with severe intrauterine growth retardation. Doppler flow velocity waveform analysis of fetal vessels is one of the main methods for evaluating fetus health before labor. Doppler waves of middle cerebral artery (MCA) can predict most of the at risk fetuses in high risk pregnancies. In this study, we tried to obtain normal values and their nomograms during pregnancy for Doppler flow velocity indices of MCA in 20 – 40 weeks of normal MCA of fetuses had been extensively studied for evaluation of placental compromise and foetalanaemia. 7 Combining the Doppler indices of the MCA with that of the UA by the ratio of their pulsatility indices, also known as cerebro-placental ratio (CP ratio), is a useful tool for monitoring fetal health. A low CP ratio indicates relative
Umbilical arterial (UA) Doppler assessment is used in surveillance of fetal well-being in the third trimester of pregnancy. Abnormal umbilical artery Doppler is a marker of placental insufficiency and consequent intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or suspected pre-eclampsia.. Umbilical artery Doppler assessment has been shown to reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity in high-risk The 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles were determined for the middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity ranging between 24.33 cm 2 /s and 78.36 cm 2 /s. CONCLUSION: A nomogram for the fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity during the second half of pregnancy was generated. A transverse section of the fetal head was obtained by ultrasonography (2-5 MHz curvilinear Micro4D probe Voluson 730 Pro, General Electric Healthcare, Milwaukee Winsconsin, USA) and color flow mapping was used to identify the circle of Willis and the MCA. The MCA was insonated close to its origin from the internal carotid artery.

Table 22-1 Reference Values for Serial Measurements of the Umbilical Artery Systolic: Diastolic Ratio The middle cerebral artery is the most accessible cerebral vessel to Fetal MCA systolic/diastolic (S/D) ratio is an important parameter in fetal middle cerebral arterial Doppler assessment.It is a useful predictor of fetal distress and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).. Interpretation Normal During pregnancy the middle cerebral (and other intracranial) arteries demonstrate high resistance waveforms, i.e. high systolic velocity and low/absent diastolic
