Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the hemodynamics of ductus venosus (DV) in high-risk pregnancies by ultrasound, and to analyze its prediction of intrauterine hypoxia, so as to provide reference for improving the pregnancy outcome of high-risk pregnancies.
Methods A total of 103 patients with high-risk pregnancy were selected as the study group, and 60 normal pregnant women were selected as the control group.The fetal DV hemodynamics was monitored by ultrasound.DV hemodynamic parameters peak venous velocity index (PVIV), average peak venous velocity (TAmax), venous preload index (PLI), pulse index (PI) during different trimesters were compared to analyze the relationship between DV hemodynamic parameters and pregnancy.According to whether the fetus had intrauterine hypoxia, patients were divided into hypoxia group and non-hypoxia group, and were further divided into mild hypoxia group and severe hypoxia group according to Apgar score.DV hemodynamic parameters of hypoxia group (mild hypoxia, severe hypoxia) and non-hypoxia group were compared, the prediction of DV hemodynamic parameters on intrauterine hypoxia was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the risk of intrauterine hypoxia was analyzed.
Results In the second and third trimesters, the TAmax of the study group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.01), while the PI, PLI, and PVIV were higher than those of the control group (P < 0.01).During the second and third trimesters, TAmax levels showed a decreasing trend among the severe hypoxia group, mild hypoxia group, and non-hypoxia group (P < 0.01), while PI, PLI, and PVIV showed an increasing trend among the three groups (P < 0.01).TAmax in the second and third trimesters were negatively correlated with the degree of intrauterine hypoxia (P < 0.05), PI, PLI, PVIV were positively correlated with the degree of intrauterine hypoxia (P < 0.05).The AUC of combination of TAmax, PI, PLI and PVIV to predict intrauterine hypoxia in the second and third trimesters were 0.910 and 0.934, respectively (P < 0.05).The risk of intrauterine hypoxia in third trimester was analyzed.The R2 values caused by TAmax, PI, PLI and PVIV were 0.094, 6.017, 5.083, 7.561, respectively.
Conclusions The evaluation of DV hemodynamic parameters in high-risk pregnancies can reflect the fetal intrauterine hypoxia in utero, detect the abnormal blood flow spectrum in time and intervene to reduce the adverse pregnancy outcome.
