NCT02739503 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 500

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study set out to investigate whether antenatal ultrasound evaluation of the Fetal Head Circumference (FHC) could potentially possess a predictive role in determining women at increased risk for operative delivery or cesarean section.

Conditions

  • Pregnancy

Interventions

DEVICE

Ultrasound

Patients will receive ultrasound in the ultrasound unit at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center within 10 days before onset of induced or spontaneous labors. The ultrasound team has been trained in FHC , Estimated Fetal Weight (EFW) and Biparietal Diameter (BPD) measurement .Optimal ultrasound measurements of FHC and BPD will be obtained. The average of 3 fetal head circumference measurements will be recorded. Investigators consider the FHC and BPD to be optimal when a clear outline of the entire fetal skull is measured, and the landmarks (the thalamus, cavum septum pellucidum and choroid plexus in the atrium of the lateral ventricles) are visualized. Subsequent information of labor outcome as well as normal head circumference ,post-delivery will be obtained from maternal and neonatal medical records.
