Doppler umbilical artery studies in the twin-twin transfusion syndrome.

Abstract:

:Eleven patients with twin pregnancies were identified as having twin-twin transfusion syndrome on the basis of like-sex twins with monochorionic placentation and umbilical venous blood hemoglobin differences exceeding 50 g/L at delivery. Umbilical artery velocity-time waveform studies had been performed in these pregnancies as part of a large series of 456 twin pregnancies. In all 11 cases, the systolic-diastolic (S-D) ratio differences between the twins were less than 1 unit (mean 0.4 +/- 0.2), indicating that in twin-twin transfusion, umbilical artery S-D ratios are concordant even in the presence of discordancy in fetal size.

  • Cesarean: changing the trends.

    abstract::A rising cesarean birth rate, both nationally and at our institution, led us to attempt to reverse the trend. Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) was introduced as an alternative to repeat cesarean in 1982. The impact of VBAC on the cesarean rate for our institution was assessed from 1982-1988. Over the period studied...
