Since no treatment has been demonstrated to be of benefit in growth restriction, assessment of fetal wellbeing and timely delivery remain as the main management strategy. The study group will comprise all pregnant women at 30-34 weeks, who fulfill the inclusion criteria, coming for antenatal screening, to the Obstetrics out-patient department after taking written and informed consent. These women will be evaluated with ultrasound Doppler study with other routine investigations and CPR will be calculated. Women will be categorized into high risk and low risk pregnancies and will be followed up till delivery and fetal outcome will be noted. Fetal arterial blood PH will be noted and correlated with the fetal outcome. Period of prolongation was significantly lower with high risk patients as compared to low risk patients (31 vs. 38). NIUC admissions were significantly more with high risk patients compared to low risk patients (22% vs. 9%). Significantly more vaginal deliveries were with low risk patients as compared to high risk patients (72% vs. 39%). |
