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.

We performed an observational prospective cohort study on the applicability of two-dimensional echocardiography with pulsed Doppler technique as a noninvasive modality to serially evaluate renal blood velocities in premature neonates with and without umbilical artery catheters. We also sought to det
Doppler blood velocity waveforms were analyzed from the umbilical artery as an indication of fetal well-being. Since the ratio of systolic to diastolic peak flows (A/ B) reflects placental vascular resistance, an abnormality of this value may accurately predict compromised fetuses. Twenty-one studie
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
Purpose. We studied whether umbilical artery catheters (UACs) affect blood flow in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) of neonates. Methods. Noninvasive duplex pulsed Doppler sonography was used to measure peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity, and mean flow velocity in the SMA. The resis
