[Doppler ultrasound in obstetrics].
Doppler ultrasound measurements of blood flow velocity are a noninvasive way of studying uteroplacentofoetal haemodynamics. This method allows us to gain a new insight into the physiology of the foetus as well as into the pathophysiology of a pregnancy with complications. Doppler ultrasound measurements are already being recognized as contributing significantly to diagnostics and management in certain clinical situations. This paper gives an overview of both the possibilities and problems associated with the measurements and their evaluation. The various aspects involved in the purchasing and use of the machines are discussed.
