Routine Doppler ultrasound in pregnancy

Umbilical artery Doppler indices in relation to fetal outcome in high risk pregnancy

“…However, it has also been shown that the use of Doppler in low-risk population confers no benefits over standard fetal surveillance. 17 In the fetuses demonstrating IUGR, a characteristic adaptive vascular mechanism is the cornerstone for fetal survival, this change in the normal vascular physiology and distribution of blood flow is now very well characterized. The identification of a pattern demonstrating fetal adaptation to impaired uteroplacental blood flow constitutes the fetuses affected by IUGR.…”

Umbilical Artery Resistance Index in the Surveillance of Pregnancies at Risk of Fetal-Maternal Hemodynamic Disorders in Lomé (Togo)

“…A pathological RI of the umbilical artery in "at-risk pregnant" is significantly related to an abnormal Apgar score at birth. Similarly, studies [23] [24] have shown that the association of pathological pregnancy and the measurement of the RI in at-risk pregnant women can then be useful in predicting the adverse outcome of pregnancy and therefore can be a surveillance tool for pregnant women at risk.…”

Fetal umbilical artery Doppler to predict compromise of fetal/neonatal wellbeing in a high‐risk population: systematic review and bivariate meta‐analysis

“…These findings have been further confirmed by a Cochrane review on fetal and umbilical Doppler scans in high‐risk pregnancies16. In unselected and low‐risk populations the previously published evidence has not supported the routine use of umbilical artery Doppler12, 13. One test accuracy study looked at the use of intrapartum umbilical artery Doppler and concluded that it was a poor predictor of adverse outcome49.…”
