Point of Care Ultrasound Screening for Abnormal Fetal Growth During Routine Antenatal Visits

Prenatal Disorder Clinical Trial

Official title:
Point of Care Ultrasound Screening for Abnormal Fetal Growth During Routine Antenatal Visits: a Randomized Controlled Trial. MUNN (More Ultrasounds New gaiNs) Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Abdominal circumference (AC) in the fetus is the single most useful indicator of fetal growth abnormalities. Measurement of AC as well as DVP do not require extensive training. Our objective is to evaluate if introduction of bedside ultrasound during routine antenatal visits to evaluate fetal AC and amniotic fluid DVP would decrease the false positive rates of fundal height measurement in diagnosing intrauterine growth abnormalities.

Clinical Trial Description

The prior studies of routine ultrasound in low risk patients focused on the usual ultrasound evaluation which involves the use of advanced equipment and providers, including trained sonographers and physicians to perform and review the ultrasound, as well as a full examination with multiple fetal measurements and images. A number of recent analyses show that measurement of the abdominal circumference (AC) in the fetus is the single most useful indicator of fetal growth abnormalities. Measurement of AC as well as DVP do not require extensive training, long time to acquire, or expensive ultrasound machines. They can be easily performed in the office by providers who are specifically trained in obtaining these 2 measurements. Therefore, we intended to evaluate if introduction of bedside ultrasound during routine antenatal visits (point of care ultrasound or POC-US) to evaluate fetal AC and amniotic fluid DVP would decrease the false positive rates of fundal height measurement in diagnosing intrauterine growth abnormalities, and would improve the diagnosis of amniotic fluid volume and fetal growth deviations. ;
