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
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
