type of utz during 1st TM
transvaginal utz
type of utz during 2nd and 3rd TM
transabdominal
- Determine the presence & location of pregnancy
- Detect multifetal gestation
- As an adjunct for trancervical or
transabdominal chorionic villus
sampling
transvaginal utz
- Evaluate fetal anatomy
- Evaluate amniotic fluid volume
- Determine location & relation of the placenta & umbilical cord to each other & the insertion of the cord into the fetal abdomen
- Determine fetal presentation
- Guide needle placement for
procedures such as amniocentesis or percutaneous umbilical sampling
