Ultrasonography & Fetal Medicine at Ayushman Hospital
Ultrasonography or ultrasound is a diagnostic procedure undertaken with pregnant women to check the condition of the fetus and the health of the mother. Advanced ultrasound and fetal medicine services in Ayushman hospitals, as always, strive towards the best of mother and childcare. “Every mother and baby must receive the best care” is the mantra for my team where Dr. Anju Kumar heads the group specializing in the use of Ultrasound in Early Detection, Diagnosis and Care of High-Risk Pregnancy.
What is Ultrasonography in Pregnancy?
Ultrasonography is a technique used for looking inside the body without surgery by using high frequency sound waves. During a pregnancy, ultrasound is used to follow the baby s growth, the development of his/her organs and general condition of the pregnancy. These factors help in confirming gestational ages, finding fetal abnormalities and evaluating the health status of both baby and placenta. Other important factors including Ultrasound examination is the quantity of amniotic fluid and the position of the baby in the womb. These factors assist in strategic preparation for safe delivery.
Ayushman hospital offers multiple types of scans during the stages of pregnancy:
- Ultrasound for Early Pregnancy: Carried out at the beginning stages of pregnancy to determine the gestational age. It also helps identify multiple pregnancies (twins or more) and ascertain any problems like an ectopic pregnancy.
- Anatomy Scan (20-Week Ultrasound): Takes place roughly between 18-22 weeks. It monitors the baby’s organs and structures such as the brain, heart, kidneys, and spine to ensure they are developing properly. This scan is also particularly important in identifying any detectable congenital abnormalities.
- Fetal Well-Being Scan: This scan, done in later stages of pregnancy, allows for an in-depth look at the baby’s growth with a specific focus on liquid levels and condition of the placenta. It helps check if the baby is getting the required nutrients and oxygen.
- 3D and 4D Ultrasound: These newer forms of ultrasound aid in bonding and checking facial details by providing three-dimensional and real-life images of the fetus.
What is Fetal Medicine?
This field of fetal medicine deals with the diagnosis and management of problems relating to pregnancy and fetus. The aim of this cardiac medicine is the proper formation of the fetus by using advanced Technologies such as ultrasounds and careful studies of all processes involved. Ayushman Hospital uses computerized prenatal diagnosis units along with trained pediatricians who provide fetal medicine care. A Fetal medicine specialist is trained in prenatal diagnosis: identifying problems such as chromosomal abnormalities, structural anomalies, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). He provides consultative care during prenatally diagnosed anomalies to complex touristic pathology.
How Fetal Medicine Helps in Pregnancy
- Early Diagnosis of Abnormalities: Fetal medicine employs the use of high-resolution ultrasounds to aid diagnoses and assess parts of the fetus that may be abnormal or have congenital difficulties which can be treated well in advance. These exceptional services enable timely treatment and planning for any healthcare that may arise.
- Fetal Growth Monitoring: Periodic assessment of fetalis growth to determine the overall development and wellbeing of the fetus is vital. The measures taken by fetal medicine enable complete monitoring of the baby’s development, revealing any chances of development of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
- Management of Complex Pregnancies: In case of chronic health issues like diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid disease, fetal medicine assists in monitoring the baby’s health and progress so that any risks can be avoided, or any possible issues can be managed promptly.
- Cytogenetic Testing: Medicine fetal performs procedures such as amniotic fluid withdrawal (amniocentesis) or chorionic tissue sampling (CVS) and ensure that Down syndrome and other abnormalities are diagnosed at an early stage so that parents have the right to decide if they want to continue with the pregnancy.
- Monitoring the Placenta’s Wellbeing: It is important to monitor the placenta’s wellbeing as it has a direct correlation to the baby’s growth. Ultrasound imaging done by Fetal medicine practitioners will allow them to observe the location and function of the placenta in question. The thorough investigation will assist in establishing if the placenta is nourishing the fetus with needed nutrients and oxygen.
- Monitoring Movement and Fetal Heart Rate: Assessing the baby’s heartbeat and movements plays a tremendous role in protecting their future. Lack of movements, abnormal heart rates, or any of the above-mentioned problems will indicate basic needs of assistance.
