Kernaussagen

  • Die Doppler-Sonografie ist ein wichtiges Instrument beim Management von Risikoschwangerschaften.

  • Valide Untersuchungsergebnisse erfordern eine sorgsame Untersuchungstechnik sowie ausreichende technische und pathophysiologische Kenntnisse.

  • Bei Anwendung der Doppler-Sonografie im Risikokollektiv kann die perinatale Mortalität reduziert werden.

  • Screeninguntersuchungen an der A. uterina ermöglichen die Risikoabschätzung des späteren Schwangerschaftsverlaufs.

Conclusion/Core Statements

  • Doppler sonography is an important tool in managing high risk pregnancies.

  • Valid results require technical skills and pathophysiological knowledge as well as a careful examination.

  • Doppler sonography is used for high risk patients and can reduce perinatal mortality.

  • Screening of the uterine artery allows risk evaluation during pregnancy.
