[Doppler velocimetry: perinatal results according to an integral evaluation of resistances]
1Servicio de Gíneco-Obstetricia, Unidad de Alto Riesgo Obstétrico, Hospital Regional de Rancagua.
The experience with 180 high-risk pregnancies evaluated with Doppler velocimetry in Rancagua Regional Hospital, classified according to an original integral resistance evaluation table, is presented. Perinatal outcome is analyzed in relation to this classification, demonstrating a high correlation between progressive increase of resistance and poor perinatal outcome, evidenced as proportion of SGA newborns, non-reactive NST, low five-minute Apgar score, admission to neonatology or perinatal death, with good sensibility, specificity and predictive values.
