To study the role of Color Doppler in FGR and fetal outcomes.
The study was carried out on 100 antenatal females in their third trimester with IUGR by using color Doppler of various arteries. These patients were followed up & the perinatal outcomes were recorded.
Out of 100 clinically suspected FGR cases, 41 were healthy baby, 4 were intrauterine deaths, 3 were neonatal deaths, 52 were admitted in NICU in which 25 cases were in respiratory distress & 3 cases were on mechanical ventilator. Out of 100 cases, 64 were spontaneous vaginal delievered, 14 were delivered by induction & 22 cases delivered by caesarean section.
Abnormal Doppler waveform changes indicate adverse perinatal outcome of pregnancies with FGR. Doppler study helps to reduce perinatal mortality & morbidity by timely & appropriate interventions.
