Purpose. We evaluated the role of umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry in the surveillance of pregnancies complicated by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods. We retrospectively studied 56 women with SLE whose pregnancies were managed at our perinatal center between 1988 and 1995. Results.
Pulsed Doppler blood-flow velocity waveforms in the umbilical arteries, as well as blood gases, hematocrit, and lactate concentration in umbilical venous blood, were examined in 21 patients undergoing 49 cordocentesis, 34 of which were followed by fetal blood transfusion into the umbilical vein. The
OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between longitudinal umbilical and uterine artery flow velocity waveform (FVW) analyses and maternal and fetal complicafions in diabetic pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN: Twenty-six pregnancies complicated by insulin-dependent diabetes mellitos were followed longitudin
Pulsed-Doppler examinations of blood-flow velocities in the umbilical ar- tery were carried out before and after 15 diagnostic cordocenteses and 34 fetal blood transfusions into the umbilical vein. There were decreases in the systolic/diastolic ratio (A/B) ( p < 0.01), the pulsatility index (PI) (p
A comparison was made between the AB ratio, resistance index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI 1, calculated from tracings obtained by pulsed Doppler (PD) and continuous wave ( C W ) Doppler devices in 14 uncomplicated singleton pregnancies. The AB ratio, RI, and PI were a slightly higher for the CW D
