Clinical
Outcomes and Continuous Quality Improvement
Pregnancies that
are complicated by maternal conditions such as diabetes,
hypertension, twins, polyhydramnios or oligohydramnios (too much
or too little fluid around your baby), Rh incompatibility, birth
defects, and other high risk conditions require that your baby
undergo special testing during your pregnancy. This is done to
reassure that your baby is doing well.
Antenatal
testing
Our Clinic, in association with co-doctors and hospitals provides
antenatal fetal testing, including:
-
NST (non-stress
test) in which your baby's heart beat is recorded over a period
of at least 30 minutes and inspected for signs of distress and
reassurance.
-
Fetal activity
studies (biophysical profile or BPP) is a more detailed test of
your baby that includes an ultrasound evaluation of your baby's
movements, amniotic fluid and breathing.
-
Fetal
echocardiography is a special ultrasound of your baby's heart
performed while you are pregnant, and is performed in cases
where the baby has been diagnosed with heart disease.
-
A comprehensive
maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein and tri-screen program. These
are special blood tests that you take during the second
trimester that can help your doctor assess your risk of having a
baby with a serious birth defect.
