Re: Reverse Diastolic Flow At 20 Weeks

At 20 weeks with reverse diastolic flow I think this would be a very bad prognosis for the baby. Would anticipate fetal demise in the next 1-3 weeks. I think you would have to be looking for some type of congenital cardiac anomalies. I wonder if torsion of the cord could give this picture as well. as Out of interest I would like to know the venous doppler of the ductus venosum and the doppler flow of the uterine artery. Also you would expect the baby to be having centralization of flwo ot he brain as eveidnece by increased diastolic flow in the Middle Cerebral artery doppler.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
