Reference values for resistance index and pulsatility index of uteroplacental Doppler flow velocity waveforms based on 612 uneventful pregnancies.

Abstract:

:Using a 4-MHz continuous-wave Doppler device, standard rates were established for resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) of uterine and arcuate arteries of 612 patients with uneventful pregnancies and deliveries. From 18 to 41 weeks of gestation, neither RI nor PI of uterine or arcuate arteries proved to vary with gestational age, maternal heart rate, or maternal age. By contrast, a significant effect of placental location on the measurement results was found in both uterine and arcuate arteries. The differences between measurements on the placental or opposite site are more distinct in arcuate than in uterine arteries. Taking the 90th percentile as a localization gauge, cutoff levels of 0.52 (RI) and 0.98 (PI) were found in uterine arteries. In arcuate arteries, cutoff levels of 0.45 (RI) and 0.82 (PI) were found on the placental site or with a placenta without lateralization. On the nonplacental site of a lateralized placenta, the cutoff levels were 0.51 (RI) and 0.92 (PI).
