Doppler monitoring significance of middle cerebral artery at over 38 weeks pregnancies in pre-labour

Abstract: The existence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) induce morphological and physio-pathological modifications to fetal heart as long as fetal vessels beginning with the first trimester of pregnancy it appears that exist a correlation between the level of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and the rate of fetal malformations. HbA1c value above >10.1% increase fetal malformation incidence, GDM being associated with the increase of fetal morbidity and mortality. Congenital malformations incidence of fetuses provided from diabetes mellitus pregnancies is from 3% to 6%, incidence increased in compared to normal pregnancy. GDM produce hypertrophic cardio-miopathy in approximately 40-50% cases. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of Doppler monitoring on middle cerebral artery (MCA) before the onset of labor in case of pregnant women with term pregnancies as a method of debut labor estimation. There were ultrasound examined 27 pregnant women with gestational age over 38 weeks without maternal or fetal pathology. We search the resistance index of MCA value and try to correlate these values with the moment of labor debut. Doppler screening of MCA to fetuses at term before the onset of labor can become a way to predict the debut of labor.
