Ultrasonic Dopplerometry in diagnosis of cervical injury in birth process

Abstract

The goal was to carry out the comparative analysis of ultrasonic Doppler indices and data of morphometric methods of uterine cervix examination of women with prenatal moving of amniotic fluid depending on presence or absence of uterine cervix trauma in labor. Material and methods. 148 pregnant women with prenatal moving of amniotic fluid were examined. The main group included 64 pregnant women with uterine cervix ruptures; the comparison group consisted of 84 patients without any labor trauma. Ultrasonic and morphological examinations of uterine cervix were carried out. Results. Cavernous transformation of venous cervical bloodstream closely correlated (r = 0,67, p <0.001) with the index of vascularization degree and labortrauma degree. Conclusion. The revealed echomorphological relationship in uterine cervix of pregnant women with various labor outcomes allowed using these data to predict uterine cervix rupture in labor process.
