Doppler ultrasound assessment of cerebral blood flow in the human fetus
Abstract
Summary. A mechanical sector and linear array real‐time scanner combined with a pulsed Doppler system was used for recording the flow velocity waveform in the internal carotid artery, the lower thoracic part of the descending aorta and umbilical artery in the human fetus. A total of 42 fetuses in normal pregnancy and nine growth‐retarded fetuses between 26 and 41 weeks gestation was studied. In normal pregnancy the mean pulsatility index (PI) in the internal carotid artery varied between 1·5 and 1·6, in the descending aorta between 1·7 and 1·8 and in the umbilical artery between 0·7 and 1·3. In the growth‐retarded fetuses the PI was reduced in the internal carotid artery and raised in the descending aorta and umbilical artery, suggesting an increased peripheral vascular resistance in the fetal body and placenta and a compensatory reduction in peripheral vascular resistance in the fetal cerebrum, i.e. a brain‐sparing effect in the presence of fetal hypoxia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
