Gulfcoast: OB Doppler – How, Why and When?
Overview
OB Doppler: How, Why, and When? Training Video is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of indications and applications of Doppler and color flow imaging in the OB examination. Doppler/color techniques and system optimization, protocols, and diagnostic criteria are covered in detail.
Topics
- Indications/Applications for Performing OB Doppler
- Doppler Waveform Analysis and Diagnostic Criteria
- Factors that affect the Doppler Assessment
- Doppler Measurements; Doppler Index, Resistive Index, S/D Ratio, Pulsatility Index, Velocity Calculations
- Doppler Evaluation of the Middle Cerebral Artery, Umbilical Artery, Ductus Venosus, Umbilical Vein, IVC, Hepatic Veins
- Doppler Evaluation of the Pelvic Vessels: Uterine Artery
- Doppler Evaluation with Multiple Gestation
- Doppler Evaluation of Fetal Heart Arrhythmias
- Scanning Tips and Technical Pitfalls
Objectives
- State Doppler protocols and criteria for evaluation of IUGR, SGA, and Anomalies in the fetus
- Outline Doppler protocols for evaluation of Twins/Multiples: TOPS vs TAPS
- List technical components for proper Doppler acquisition: Angle of insonation, angle correction, gate size and position
- Analyze Doppler waveforms and apply Doppler Measurements: Doppler index, S/D Ratio, PI, RI, velocity calculations
- Optimize color Doppler and analyze color flow characteristics
- Describe normal and abnormal waveforms of: Ductus venosus, IVC/hepatic veins, middle cerebral artery, umbilical artery, umbilical vein and uterine artery
- State protocols for Doppler evaluation of fetal heart arrhythmias
