This study found that analyzing umbilical artery (UA), ductus venosus (DV), and middle cerebral artery (MCA) velocimetry alongside computerized cardiotocography (cCTG) can detect early fetal compromise in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatology
  • Fetal Medicine
  • Diagnostic Ultrasound

Background:

  • Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) poses significant risks to fetal well-being.
  • Early detection of fetal compromise is crucial for improving neonatal outcomes in IUGR.
  • Combining Doppler velocimetry and computerized cardiotocography (cCTG) offers a comprehensive approach to fetal surveillance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze velocimetric (umbilical artery, ductus venosus, middle cerebral artery) and cCTG (fetal heart rate, short-term variability, approximate entropy) parameters in IUGR.
  • To identify early signs of fetal compromise in pregnancies complicated by IUGR.
  • To explore the relationship between cCTG and Doppler parameters in IUGR fetuses.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 375 pregnant women with IUGR from 28 weeks gestation.

  • Monitoring using cCTG and Doppler ultrasound (UA, DV, MCA).
  • Statistical analysis including t-test, chi-square, and Pearson correlation (P < 0.05).

    • Main Results:

    • Velocimetric parameters (UA, DV, MCA) showed earlier alterations in IUGR fetuses.
    • A potential relationship was observed between cCTG alterations and Doppler findings.
    • The study identified specific patterns indicative of fetal compromise.

    Conclusions:

    • Combined surveillance using velocimetry and cCTG enhances the prediction of neonatal outcomes in IUGR.
    • Early antenatal detection of fetal compromise is feasible with multimodal monitoring.
    • This approach supports timely intervention for high-risk IUGR pregnancies.
