Validación de la flujometría doppler de arteria umbilical y cerebral media como predictores de hipoxia y acidosis en recién nacidos Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso octubre 2008 – abril 2009

Abstract

Objectives: One of the biggest worries in the obstetric and pediatric practice is the evaluation of the fetal well-being or the antenatal vigilance. In this way a primordial objective of the antenatal observation has to be indentifying a fetus in danger of hypoxia-acidosis. The purpose of this study is determining the validity of the Doppler radar of the umbilical and midbrain arteries as a predictor of hypoxia and acidosis in high-risk pregnancies.

Methodology: An analysis of test-validation included thirty-one patients, each-one diagnosed as a high-risk pregnancy. They used antenatal Doppler radar. There was a chase of the newborn; a gasometer was used into the umbilical cord.

Results: Determining a sensibility of the 87%, a specificity of the 73%, VVP 77%, VPN 85%; and related to the gasometer a sensibility of the 77%, specificity 84%, VVP 87%, VPN 75%.

The conclusion of the exposé is that the Doppler radar of the umbilical and midbrain arteries of the fetus is an implement that has revolutionized the perinatology, very useful to diagnose hypoxia and intrauterine acidosis
