Uterine Artery Pulsatility Index and Materno Fetal Outcomes

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Labor Complication

• Registration Number: NCT02853058
• Lead Sponsor: University Tunis El Manar

Brief Summary

High Uterine artery index pulsatility (PI) is associated with small for gestationnal age but also with stillbirth and distress during labor.

Detailed Description

measures of Uterine artery PI is made with transabdominal color flow during labor. The right and left uterine arteries are visualized at the crossover wth the external iliac arteries. PI is measured and the mean PI of the two vessels is calculated and expressed as multiple of the median (MoM).The outcomes stillbirth, distress and vaginal or cesarean delivery, apgar sore \<7 at 5 minutes, birth weight and maternal outcomes: preeclampsia, hemorrhage and other complications are noted.
