Fetal Lung Volume and Pulmonary Artery Resistance Index Measurement in Term Diabetic Pregnancy and Their Correlation With Neonatal Outcome: a Pilot Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 70 (actual)
• Sponsor: Ain Shams University · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 20 Years – 40 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The aim of this study is to determine cut-off values for fetal lung volume by VOCAL and pulmonary artery resistance index by pulsed Doppler in fetuses of diabetic mothers, and correlate the results with postnatal respiratory distress of the term neonates.

Detailed description

Research question: Can the assessment of fetal lung volume by Virtual Organ Computed-aided Analysis (VOCAL) and pulmonary artery resistance index by pulsed Doppler predict neonatal respiratory distress syndrome in term fetuses of diabetic mothers? Research hypothesis: The assessment of fetal lung volume by VOCAL and pulmonary artery resistance index by pulsed Doppler can predict neonatal respiratory distress syndrome in term fetuses of diabetic mothers.

Conditions

• Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography	A longitudinal section of fetal chest will be obtained that clearly depicts the lung. A 3D window will be activated . After complete electronic sweep and assurance of absence of fetal or maternal movements to avoid motion artifacts, 3D multi-planar view will be then obtained
