MCA Doppler In Anemia
• In Anemic fetuses, the PSV will inrease.
• Obtaining PSV at 0 degrees angle is
important in anemic fetuses.
• Increase False positive rate after 34
weeks

Doppler Indices and outcomes
• In complicated pregnancies abnormal
Doppler indices are powerful predictors of
adverse perinatal
outcome;
Low
Apgar score
Nonreassuring fetal status
Low
pH
Presence
of thick meconium
Admission to
NICU
Doppler Indices and outcomes
• Reduce perinatal death and
unnecessary induction of labor in the
preterm growth restricted fetus.
• A meta-analysis use of Doppler
ultrasonography reduced the odds of
perinatal death by 38 percent (95%
CI 15-55)
Alfirevic Z et al Am J Obstet Gynecol 199
Umbilical Artery
• Absence or reversal of end-diastolic
flow in the umbilical artery is
suggestive of poor fetal condition,
whereas normal or slightly decreased
umbilical Doppler flow is rarely
associated with significant morbidity
Ott WJ J Ultrasound Med 2000

Doppler in AGA Fetuses
• Routine screening with dopplers in AGA fetuses
is controversial
• However, abnormal UA identifies the fetuses at
risk in uncomplicated pregnancies as

In 34 women , at < 34 weeks.
At a 5% FPR;
The sensitivity 94.1 percent
The specificity was 94.3 percent
Doppler in first Trimester
• Increases the sensitivity of first trimester
screening and decreases the false postivie
rate
• DV reversed flow in DV in first trimester is
a risk factor for CHD even in the presence
of normal NT
• Can be used as a part of risk calculation
for stillbirth
• CAN be used as a tool to
