[Doppler velocimetry in patients with preeclampsia]
Unlabelled:
Doppler velocimetry is a fast and convenient method for monitoring of fetal well being in high risk pregnancies. Doppler velocimetry is more specific and sensitive method of fetal surveillance than cardiotocography. The study's objective is to prove Doppler's effectiveness in predicting perinatal outcome in preeclamptic pregnancies. A retrospective study is designed, including pregnant women, diagnosed with preeclampsia, admitted to Maternity hospital "Majchin dom" for ten years. Doppler study was made and results were correlated to Apgar score, umbilical artery pH and base excess of the neonate at delivery. A correlation between RI of umbilical artery, uterine arteries and Apgar score at 5th minute was demonstrated. In severe cases correlation between RI of umbilical artery and neonatal pH was found.
Conclusion:
Doppler velocimetry is an effective method of fetal surveillance in pregnancies, complicated by preeclampsia

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...

Special considerations while measuring blood pressure
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
