Ratio of middle cerebral artery/umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry and status of newborn in preeclampsia

Abstract

Doppler velocimetry studies of placental and fetal circulation can provide important information regarding fetal well-being providing an opportunity to improve fetal outcome. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the role of middle cerebral to umbilical artery blood velocity waveform's systolic/diastolic ratio (MCA/UA) as a predictor of perinatal outcome in post term pregnant women
