title: Intra- and early postpartum ultrasonography: a review. Part II.
abstract: Part II is a continuation of the preceding segment, which appeared in the previous issue (Survey 1998;53:000-000). This part presents data pertaining to ultrasound-guided procedures (invasive and noninvasive), physiology (fetal behavior), intrapartum hemorrhage, the third stage of labor, post-partum hemorrhage, and postcaesarean ultrasonography. In addition, this article includes data regarding nonobstetric ultrasound including anesthesiology, catheter placement, venous air embolism, effect of epidural anesthesia on uterine blood flow, and urinary retention. Finally, this part presents ultrasonographic data of the maternal cerebral circulation in preeclampsia/eclampsia and of the maternal deep venous system.
