QUESTION 1 QUES 1: How much importance an ultrasonologist should give to the patient information ,expected by the machine ? FOR ALL PANELISTS
WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND ……… Correct name, date of birth ( Age) Dating from LMP ( regularity/ type of conception ) Period of gestation Obstetric history ( GPAEL , chorionicity , BOH ) Indication for ultrasound Type of ultrasound R eferring doctor Medicolegal documentation
QUES 2 : DR ASHOK KHURANA SIR Is the first trimester viability scan (7-10wks) integral part of antenatal screening ? How informative and relevant is it ?
Correct dating Intrauterine / extrauterine pregnancy (most relevant in presence of symptoms, as per RCOG recommendations) Multiple pregnancy – establishing chorionicity In our context, if one has to choose one scan, it would be rather NT/NB scan than viability IMPORTANT POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND………..
QUES 3 : DR VIVEK KASHYAP SIR a)What are the routine measurements done during the viability scan ? b)How to assess normal and abnormal findings by this scan ?
Location Gestational sac Number of sacs Yolk sac CRL Fetal heart rate Intervening membrane in twins Adnexal pathology ROUTINE MEASUREMENTS
What abnormal findings can one assess by this scan ? Size-dates Discrepancy Early pregnancy failure Ectopic pregnancy Heterotopic pregnancy Caesarean scar pregnancy Gestational trophoblastic Disease
a ) What are the important parameters measured during NT-NB scan ? b) What are the FMF recommendations regarding measurements of these parameters ? QUES 4 : DR TLN PRAVEEN SIR
PARAMETERS ASSESSED DURING NT –NB SCAN CRL Nuchal Translucency Presence Of Nasal Bone Presence Of Intracranial Translucency Fetal Heart Rate Flow Across Tricuspid Valve Ductus Venosus Wave Form Uterine A dopplers
Magnification 60% 98% Image should occupy 60-98% of the screen
NUCHAL TRANSLUCENCY
a)What is the best time to ask for second trimester scan ? b) What all information do we gather while doing this scan ? QUES 5 ) DR ANUPAMA FUTELA MAM
18-22 weeks Keeping in mind the MTP act, 18-20 weeks more suitable
Biometry for Growth Other biometry of significance- Atrial width , cisterna magna , Nuchal fold thickness , NBL , Structural abnormalities Placenta Amniotic fluid Cervical length Uterine artery Dopplers
a) Optimal views in fetal anatomical survey – A myth or reality ? QUES 6) DR CHANCHAL
a) What is the importance of doing fetal biometry in the 18-22 weeks scan ? b) What do the measured parameters convey individually ? QUES 7) DR ASHOK KHURANA SIR
BPD HC AC FL TCD Atrial Width Cisterna Magna Nuchal Fold Thickness Nasal Bone Length COMMON BIOMETRIC PARAMETERS OTHER BIOMETRY
a)What are biometric ratios ? How are they assessed ? b) What is their relevance in present scenario QUES 8) DR SUMITA PRABHAKAR MAM
TCD /AC RATIO Other Ratios Ratio Used In Thorax (lung /head ratio)
a) Are fetal dopplers integral part of routine mid trimester scan and third trimester scan? b) What are the indications of conducting it and its interpretation? QUES 9) DR ANUPAMA FUTELA MAM
Uterine artery Doppler should be taken at midtrimester scan Too late for prevention But important for screening for PE/FGR and appropriate surveillance
a) How is the fetal environment assessed ? b) Does placental size / volume assessment play a role in high risk pregnancy ? QUES 10) DR VIVEK KASHYAP SIR
Amniotic fluid Placenta Umbilical cord Cervix
a) What are the components of the third trimester fetal well being scan ? b) What is the best time to recommend it ? Does the timing change according to patients clinical profile QUES 11 ) DR SUMITA PRABHAKAR MAM
Biometry Use of growth charts Dopplers – Umbilical and MCA Cerebroplacental ratio for diagnosis of late FGR
a) If we find that the Estimated fetal weight <10 th centile , at any gestational age, how to proceed ? QUES 12) : DR CHANCHAL
Wrong Dates SGA versus FGR Dopplers - AFI - Uteroplacental insufficiency UA > 95 centile Mean uterine A > 95 centile CPR >1 Fetal infection Chromosomal ab
Few controversies and where do they stand a) If soft markers present , how to proceed list b) Measuring scar thickness c) Mentioning loops of cord QUES 13) : DR TLN PRAVEEN SIR
( Am J Perinatalogy 2015) No impact on obstetric or neonatal outcomes 15% 3rd trimester scan reduces to 4% by term
