i used to work for high risk perinatologist & I was required to do this in all 3 areas being discussed #1 free floating #2 placental insertion #3 fetal cord insertion, but havent worked there in years so not sure now thanks

I think free loop PI shall be the best choice.

in my views s/d ratio/PI/RI at free floating umblical cord area doppler tracing is excellent because at placental site there are variations in umblical cord insertion in placenta which may be closely related to chromosomal disorders like trisomy…

we had two studies about S/D RATIO and site of umbilical artery for assessment---the results favored FREE LOOP and what Calan says-- PI & RI are better tahn S/D ratio. I can send that studies (if needed). one of these studies is OBJECTIVE: .The…

Eliza Berkley replied to Kerry R. Faulk, R.T.(S), RDMS's discussion 'Umbilical Cord Doppler' in the group Obstetric Ultrasound Community
I agree with Mario Perez, Kathi Borok, and Jacques Abramowicz. The literature reports different ways to sample the umbilical artery. The important point to remember is that the last part of the UA to experience deterioration such as reversed flow is…

Jacques S. Abramowicz, MD replied to Kerry R. Faulk, R.T.(S), RDMS's discussion 'Umbilical Cord Doppler' in the group Obstetric Ultrasound Community
I agree with Mario Perez. The placental end of the cord is the correct location: more stable, reproducible and really reflecting placental resistance as opposed to placenta + whichever portion of the cord between your sampling point and the…

Kerry, for some detailed discussion of Doppler sonography of the fetus and the umbilical cord, consider checking out the AIUM DVD/CD Rom "New Developments in Fetal Doppler Sonography." Topics on the disc include "Three-Dimensional…

Mario A. Perez F replied to Kerry R. Faulk, R.T.(S), RDMS's discussion 'Umbilical Cord Doppler' in the group Obstetric Ultrasound Community
I read some reasons to place the sample near the placental insertion, one is the steadiness, the fetus does no "kick" the cord, so you can get better images and better doppler recording., Second, is being said that the data collected near…

Umbilical Cord Doppler

Thumbnail
When performing umbilical cord Doppler, should you sample at the fetal insertion, placental insertion, or a free floating portion of the cord? I have heard different things and would like some clarification. The most recent article I have been able to find that states one or the other was published in 1999 by the Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography. It states that you should sample a free floating portion of the cord. Does anyone have any updated or more recent information on this…See More

Kerry R. Faulk, R.T.(S), RDMS replied to Nervana Farah RDMS's discussion 'calcified yolk sac?' in the group Obstetric Ultrasound Community
I agree with Silvia. According to Callen's textbook and from what I have seen in practice, along with a hydropic yolk sac, a calcified yolk sac is typically a bad sign. You should definitely follow up to confirm that the pregnancy is…

Anthony E. Swartz replied to Kerry R. Faulk, R.T.(S), RDMS's discussion 'Behind the times??' in the group Obstetric Ultrasound Community
The best model for NT is for it to be done in the private OB office. Slowly but surely, generalists are coming around to the idea of doing NT risk adjustments in their offices. There is nothing magical about doing risk assessments with NT and serum…

Great advice. I have been in the field a long time working for private physicians in OB/GYN and have recently addressed the issue of NT. My physicians at this time do not want the added responsibility of the first trimester bloodwork and NT…

You have a very interesting point to discuss here. I’ve been working with a group of Perinatologists for almost 10 years and have been practicing ultrasound for approximately 20 years. During that period of time I’ve seen OB ultrasound…
