Abstract
The present study is to evaluate role of Umbilical artery doppler study and Non-stress test in predicting foetal compromise in utero in high risk pregnancies. In Present study, Non-stress test and Umbilical artery color doppler study both carried out on all of 100 high risk pregnant patients, among them 35% patients had Abnormal doppler study, 46% patients had Non-reactive NST, 36% patients had both Normal doppler study and Reactive NST and 17% patients had Abnormal doppler study and Non- reactive NST. Among both Reactive NST and Normal doppler study, 80.5% patients delivered vaginally and 19.5% patients delivered by LSCS. Among both Non-reactive NST and Abnormal color doppler study, babies of 82% patients admitted in NICU for preterm care, IUGR care or for other risk factor.
