ultrasound screening

The most important goal of the examination is to help predict the expected conditions of childbirth with the data measured during the examination. It provides an opportunity for early detection of disorders that complicate the birth process or prevent vaginal delivery, such as lying disorders, spatial disproportion, head posture disorders, less or more amniotic fluid. In this way, the screening carried out around the term should be considered an investigation that also includes practical conclusions.

36-40. During the weekly ultrasound screening, we look at the location of the fetus, the amount of amniotic fluid, the position of the placenta, degree of maturity, thickness, fetal vital signs and dimensions.

Knowing the biometric data of the fetus can help in choosing the method of labor management (spontaneous delivery or caesarean section).

We also pay special attention to the examination of the biophysical activity of the fetus (respiratory movements, fetal movements, fetal tone) and to the monitoring of the circulation of the brain and umbilical cord, with the help of which the supply of nutrients and oxygen in the womb of the fetus and possible danger states can be recognized.

In the event that any of the above parameters deviates from the physiological value, a closer observation of the fetus or possibly premature birth of the fetus (induction of labor) may become necessary.
