[Analysis of pulmonary venous blood flow in growth retarded fetuses above 30 weeks of gestation].
Abnormal spectra of blood flow are observed in many fetal vessels in pregnancy complicated by intrauterine growth restriction. Redistribution of blood flow to the most important organs causes a diminished perfusion of the others. The disturbances of lung perfusion in utero are related to abnormal growth and development of the fetal lung. The aim of this study was to describe blood flow velocity waveforms in fetal pulmonary veins in normally grown and growth restricted fetuses above 30 weeks of gestation. Doppler studies were performed in 53 normally grown and 39 growth restricted fetuses. The subjects of analysis were: peak systolic (VS), peak diastolic (VD), end-diastolic (VA), and pulsatility index for veins (PIV). Analysis was performed for two gestational intervals: 31-36, 37-41 wks. The pulmonary venous flow in growth retarded fetuses demonstrates the similar pattern to that observed in normally grown fetuses above 30 weeks of gestation. There were no statistically significant differences between normally grown and growth restricted fetuses in all analyzed indices in both gestational intervals.
