Doppler velocimetry. Where does it belong in evaluation of fetal status?
Doppler velocimetry is very useful as an antepartum surveillance tool that is able to detect pathologies of the fetus and predict the development of acidosis and hypoxia. Appropriate use can help us to decrease the mortality and morbidity in identifying earlier compromised fetuses.
