Uterine-umbilical velocimetry in open heart surgery.
The effect of the nonpulsating cardiac pump in uterine and umbilical circulation has not been studied extensively by measuring the resistance of the uterine and umbilical circulation with velocimetry. During open heart surgery, we were able to demonstrate the effects of the nonpulsatile cardiac pump.
