Q

What should we do to make the patient more comfortable? 3

A
  1. Reassure patient if bladder is uncomfortably full that you will take a few images and then have a pee break

Q

What is the pitfall here for the scan? And what are the negatives

A

Overall distended bladder can also cause the bladder measure to be overestimated. Can also falsely make a shortened cervix look long. Come back to it later after voiding. This kind of full bladder can potentially hide pathology

Q

What is opportunistic scanning?

Take what the fetus is showing you, we do this because sometimes it can be difficult or sometimes impossible to image some fetal anatomy if the fetus is not in an optimal position.

94
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Cord insertion into fetal abdomen

95
Q

What does the umbilical cord look like in TRX during this trimester? What should we see? 2

A
  1. Looks like micky mouse ears.
  2. Two arteries and one vein
96
Q

Where and why should we image the umbilical cords

A

Image the cord insertion into fetal abdomen to check for abdominal wall defects

97
Q

Where is the insertion into the placenta?

A

The cord should insert into the placenta more than 2 cm away from the edge of the placenta

98
Q

When we image the Umbilical cord what can be associated with congenital abnormalities?

A

2 VC and 1 UA. Fetal echo is indicated when identified

99
Q

When imaging the 2 umbilical arteries at bladder what should we identify? What do we need to do with this view? How do we confirm this image?

A
  1. Right and left umbilical arteries around bladder

If we want to image the two umbilical arteries at bladder how should we proceed? What must we see from the CI? What does this prove? What does the two UA become?

A
  1. Angle obliquely inferior from CI to include bladder

A

Abdomen with or without heart

103
Q

Why do we take a longitudinal image of abdomen and chest? 2

A
  1. Assess location of stomach in relation to diaphragm
  2. Assess echotexture of lungs compared to liver
104
Q

For the longitudinal image of abdomen and chest, how should the echotexture of lungs compare to the liver? (During the 2nd and 3rd trimester)

A
  1. Should be isoechoic to lungs in the 2nd trimester
  2. Slightly increased echogenicity to liver in the 3rd trimester
105
Q

  4. RVOT
  5. Three chamber view
129
Q

The fetal heart is in which plane in the fetal chest?

A

Horizontal

130
Q

While performing the cine clip from the four chamber view, the LVOT should appear how? The RVOT?

A

Without any change in the transducer plane just tilting. The RVOT should follow

131
Q

While performing the clip when and where should the three vessel view appear?

A

Left and just superior to the RVOT

132
Q

What are some images we take for the fetal limbs? 7

134
Q

Routinely the femur is measured at each visit starting when?

A

> 14 weeks

135
Q

The humerus is measured when?

A

During the 2nd trimester detailed exam

136
Q

What do we assess for during bone scans?3

A

Assess for
1. Size
2. Presence
3. Shape
To assess for skeletal dysplasia or aneuploidy

137
Q

What are the criteria for measuring Femur length? 5

A
  1. Must be perpendicular to sound beam and straight
  2. Measure femur closest to transducer (image both left and right)
  3. Both Ends of bone clearly visible
  4. Calipers placed at each end of the bone, bisecting the shaft
  5. Only measure diaphysis
138
Q

When is the epiphysis seen?

A

> 32 weeks

139
Q

How do we make the femur perpendicular?

140
Q

What are some lower limbs bones we scan? 3

A
  1. Femur
  2. Tibia
  3. Fibula
141
Q

What do we need to remember about the lower limb bones? 2

A
  1. Tibia is thicker than fibula
  2. Tibia is medial
142
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Rt and Lt ankle

143
Q

What are the upper limb bones we image? 2

A
  1. Humerus
  2. Forearm (radius and ulna)
144
Q

What is something we need to remember about the radius and the ulna? 2

A
  1. The ulna is medial and forms elbow joint
  2. The radius is lateral and forms wrist joint
145
Q

In what instances would you be required to measure all long bones?

A

Syndromes and chromosomal abnormalities

146
Q

What are the long bones that we would image? 6

A

Right and Left
1. Tibia and fibula
2. Femur
3. Radius and Ulna
4. Humerus
5. Clavicles
6. Chest circumference

147
Q

What is this an image of?

148
Q

Is the genitalia routinely documented?

A
  1. Yes (site dependent)
  2. Important to document with twins and suspected sex linked syndromes
149
Q

What are the pitfalls of imaging genitalia in the 2nd trimester? 5

A
  1. The labia can be swollen and be mistaken for a scrotum
  2. Testicles do not descend until 28 weeks gestation
  3. Scrotum can be tucked up between legs
  4. Position dependent - legs need to be open
  5. Breech babies are difficult to see
150
Q

What is the sign we kind use to find out the gender here?

A

This is a female FYI
1. Hamburger sign
2. Female: 3 parallel lines signifying interfaces of the labia

151
Q

What gender is this child? and how do we know?

A

This is a male
1. We use the turtle sign to figure out the gender
2. Turtle = visible penis and scrotum

152
Q

2nd trimester detailed assessment

153

2. Subjectively increased

154
Q

What is the DVP?

A

Deepest vertical pocket of fluid and what is measured

155
Q

When is AFI (amniotic fluid index) measured?

A

26-28 weeks

156
Q

Amniotic fluid increase until when?

A

34 weeks then slowly diminishes

157
Q

Amniotic fluid is mostly produced by what?

A

Fetal urinary system.
to lesser extents by the umbilical cord, lungs, and skin in early pregnancy

158
Q

What is the vernix?

A

Skin cells floating in the fluid
