weeks pregnant. She has two sets of
twin daughters that were born at 38
and 39 weeks gestation and an 11 year-
old son who was born at 32 weeks
gestation. She has no history of
miscarriage or abortion. What is her
GTPAL?
A 30 year old female is 25 weeks
pregnant with twins. She has 5 living
children. Four of the 5 children were
born at 39 weeks gestation and one
child was born at 27 weeks gestation.
Two years ago she had a miscarriage at
10 weeks gestation. What is her
GTPAL?

DIAGNOSTIC TEST
In High-Risk Pregnancy
NON-INVASIVE: INVASIVE:
1. Fetal Ultrasound
2. Non-Stress Test
3. Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI)
4. Cardiotocography
1. ULTRASONOGRAPHY
Is a diagnostic technique, which uses high-
frequency sound waves to create an image of the
internal organs.
A screening is sometimes done during the course
of a pregnancy to check normal fetal growth and
verify the due date.
It is a safe, non-invasive, accurate and cost
effective investigation.
Hard tissues such as bone appear white on the
21
image and soft tissues appear grey.
1. ULTRASONOGRAPHY
INDICATIONS:
In the First Trimester:
-to establish the dates of a pregnancy
-to determine the number of fetuses and identify
placental structures
- to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage
-to examine the uterus and other pelvic anatomy
-in some cases to detect fetal abnormalities such
as anencephaly.
22
DIFFERENT TREATMENTS
23
1. ULTRASONOGRAPHY
INDICATIONS:
Mid Trimester:
-to determine the number of fetuses and examine the
placental structures
-to assist in prenatal tests such as AMNIOCENTESIS,
CORDOCENTESIS
-to examine the fetal anatomy for presence of abnormalities
-to check the amount of amniotic fluid by measuring AFI
-to examine blood flow patterns
-to check on the location of placenta; to see if its covering
cervix
-to observe fetal behavior and activity. 24
1. ULTRASONOGRAPHY
INDICATIONS:
Third Trimester:
-to monitor fetal growth, to check IUGR
-detailed anatomical survey
-to check the amount of amniotic fluid
-to determine the position of a fetus
-to assess the placenta
25
TYPES of ultrasound performed during pregnancy
1. ULTRASONOGRAPHY
CONCEPT OF NST:
Oxygen is required for fetal activity and heart rate
to be with in normal ranges.
32
TYPES of ultrasound performed during pregnancy
2. NON-STRESS TEST
INDICATIONS OF NST:
39
3. AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX
Method to evaluate Amniotic Fluid Volume:
Most popular is four quadrant technique to calculate AFI.
AFI is obtained by measuring the vertical diameter of largest
pocket of amniotic fluid in 4 quadrants of uterus by USG and
the sum of the result is AFI.
AFI:
<5cm- Oligohydramnios
5-10cm- decreased amniotic fluid volume
10-19cm- Normal
20-25cm- increased amniotic fluid volume
>25cm- Polyhydromnios 40
4. CARDIOTOCOGRAPHY (CTG)
CTG is a test used in
pregnancy to monitor both the
fetal heart pattern as well as
the uterine contractions.
It should only used in the 3rd
trimester when fetal neural
reflexes are present.
Its purpose is to monitor fetal
well-being and allow early
detection of fetal distress
antenatal or intrapartum. 41
4. CARDIOTOCOGRAPHY (CTG)
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NST
and CTG:
NST is a screening test used in
pregnancy to assess fetal status
by means of the fetal heart rate
and its responsiveness.
CTG is used to monitor the fetal
heart rate and presence or
absence of uterine contractions.

PARTS OF CTG:
One transducer records the FHR
using an ultrasound beam,
The other transducer records
uterine contractions.
44
4. CARDIOTOCOGRAPHY (CTG)
FINDINGS DEPENDS UPON
THE FOLLOWING
COMPONENTS:
1. Baseline FHR
2. Baseline variability
3. Accelerations
4. Decelerations
45
4. CARDIOTOCOGRAPHY (CTG)
BASELINE FHR:
The mean level of the FHR when this is stable, excluding
accelerations and decelerations. It is determined over a
period of 5 or 10 minutes and expressed in bpm.
BASELINE VARIABILITY:
The minor fluctuations in baseline FHR occurring at three to
five cycles per minute. It measures the highest peak and
lowest trough of fluctuation in a one-minute segment of the
trace.
46
4. CARDIOTOCOGRAPHY (CTG)
DECELERATIONS:
1. Early: Head
Compression
2. Late: Utero-placental
Insufficiency
3. Variable: Cord
compression and
Primary CNS
dysfunction.
47
4. CARDIOTOCOGRAPHY (CTG)
INTERPRETATION:
Negative: No late deceleration with adequate contractions
Positive: Late deceleration with adequate contractions
Equivocal: no positive or negative window occurs
Hyperstimulation
Excessive uterine activity is present in association with
deceleration of FHR
Unsatisfactory: Inadequate FHR record or contractions. Test
should be repeated with in 24 hours.

5. NIPPLE STIMULATION CONTRACTION TEST
Determines feto placental function/well-
being
Breast are stimulated with rolling of
nipples or warm towel application.
Stimulation of the nipple causes stimulus
to be sent to the posterior pituitary gland
which in turn secretes oxytocin. This
oxytocin, in addition to causing
contraction of the breast tubules, also
has a direct effect on uterine
musculature causing it to contract. 52
5. NIPPLE STIMULATION CONTRACTION TEST
The baseline data are obtained through
monitoring as in OCT procedure.
