Manage episode 446937051 series 2280622
Ultrasound assessment of placental volume has been proposed as an important aspect of prenatal care. It involves measuring the size and volume of the placenta, which may provide critical information regarding fetal health and development. Abnormal placental volume can be associated with various complications such as FGR, preeclampsia, and other pregnancy-related conditions. Some advocates suggests the volume and vascularity of the first trimester placenta may be linked to the most devasting adverse pregnancy outcomes which is stillbirth. Social Media posts have been advocating and endorsing the measurement of placental volume antenatally as a stillbirth prevention strategy. Is this evidence-based? It’s very controversial. Nonetheless, we have principles from the AIUM. ISUOG, ACOG, and SMFM to guide us here. Listen in for details.
