Ultrasound guided procedures

In utero ultrasound-guided procedures have revolutionized antenatal care by enabling diagnosis, management, and treatment of various fetal conditions within the mother's womb using real-time ultrasound imaging.

Prenatal sampling techniques are integral to modern obstetrics, providing crucial insights into fetal health, facilitating early diagnosis of genetic disorders, and guiding medical interventions.

Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are techniques in prenatal diagnostics, offering insights into fetal health, via assessment of analytes and genetics.

Fetal anemia can be caused by several fetal and maternal conditions. Severe anemia may lead to fetal hypoxemia, heart failure, hydrops and death. Irrespective of the cause, fetal anemia can reliably be predicted by measurement of the peak systolic velocity in the middle cerebral artery with Doppler.

Ultrasound-guided fetal surgeries have transformed prenatal care by offering effective therapeutic options for several major fetal conditions during pregnancy. This overview aims to underline the significance of ultrasound-guided fetal surgeries, their techniques, applications, benefits, and challenges.
