title: [Blood flow in the umbilical artery in maternal hypotension and after therapy with Pholedrine longo--a Doppler ultrasound study].
abstract: We performed a study in dopplersonography of the A. umbilicalis in pregnant women, who had either an untreated or a with Pholedrin longo (alpha receptor stimulating substance) treated hypotension. These study groups were compared with patients who had a normal blood pressure. In patients with hypotension we found higher values of the qualitative flow indices than women with normotension reflecting a low uterine perfusion. In the group with therapy of hypotension we could analyse a normalisation of the values without decrease of uteroplacental perfusion. These findings show, that hypotension is a high risk in pregnancy which we have to care for.
