Objective:

Create reference centile charts for Doppler study of Pulsatile index (PI), Resistance index (RI) and Systolic to Diastolic (S/D) ratio ofumbilical artery in Thai fetus throughout gestation.

Material And Method:

Six hundred fifty eight pregnant women between 13-40 weeks gestation who attended the antenatal clinic at Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, were recruited. Each fetus was measured only once for the purpose of the present study. The mean and fitted centiles were estimated at each week of gestation using linear regression modeling.

Results:

Doppler study of Pulsatile index (PI), Resistance index (RI), and Systolic to Diastolic (S/D) ratio of umbilical artery were measured in 658 fetuses. The mean 95% confidence intervals for Doppler study of Pulsatile index (PI), Resistance index (RI), and Systolic to Diastolic (S/D) ratio of umbilical artery at each gestational age were fitted to estimate by linear regression models. The centile chart of this parameter was also presented.

Conclusion:

Reference centile chart for Doppler study of Pulsatile index (PI), Resistance index (RI) and Systolic to Diastolic (S/D) ratio of umbilical artery of Thai fetuses was presented.

Fetal Circulation

Fetal Circulation

Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...

Assessing Blood pressure using a doppler ultrasound

Assessing Blood pressure using a doppler ultrasound

To obtain accurate blood pressure measurements in clinical settings, especially when traditional methods are insufficient, healthcare professionals utilize the Doppler ultrasound technique. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to detect blood flow within the arteries, which is crucial for patients with conditions that complicate circulatory system assessment.
