Progestrone and Doppler Indices

October 10, 2017 updated by: sarah mohamed hassan, Kasr El Aini Hospital

The Effect of Vaginal Progestrone on Fetal and Maternal Doppler Indices

The aim of our study is to assess the effect of vaginal progestrone on fetal and maternal doppler indices

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A complete Doppler flow assessment of the maternal and fetal circulation was conducted by an independent investigator blinded to the treatment, before and 48 hours after the first administration of 400mg of vaginal progesterone, Voluson E8 (GE Healthcare, Zipf, Austria) ultrasound machine,equipped with a 3.5- MHz curvilinear abdominal transducer with color imaging capabilities, was used in all cases.
