DIFFERENT EXAMINATIONS DURING PREGNANCY
ULTRASOUND VS. AMNIOCENTESIS
Visualization
ULTRASOUND
Non-invasive
ULTRASOUND
Advice to** increase fluid intake** since increased fluid intake increases visualization
ULTRASOUND
Ilang weeks during pregnancy and cut-off to
increase fluid intake?–

If less than 20 weeks

Aspiration
AMNIOCENTESIS
Only ____ mL of amniotic fluid is
allowed to be aspirated during the procedure.
15-30 mL
Invasive
AMNIOCENTESIS
Requireinformed consent
AMNIOCENTESIS
Performed at the lower abdomen of the
pregnant mother.
AMNIOCENTESIS
Void before the procedure since the site for
aspiration is close to the urinary bladder.
AMNIOCENTESIS
To locate the placenta
ULTRASOUND
To determine amount of babies
ULTRASOUND
To measure the amount of
amniotic fluid.
ULTRASOUND
To determine the gender of the
baby.
ULTRASOUND
To determine placental grading.
ULTRASOUND
To determine fetal lung maturity.
AMNIOCENTESIS
To determine neural tube defects.
AMNIOCENTESIS
To determine chromosomal
defects.
AMNIOCENTESIS
Requires accompaniment of
ultrasound to locate the placenta
and to avoid puncturing the
bladder
If the mother has placenta previa,
puncture at the upper abdominal
segment.
AMNIOCENTESIS
measure the amount of calcium (for fetal bone development) at the back at the placenta.
Placental Grading
most common type of neural tube defect.
Spina Bifida
SpinaBifida
Meningocele
Myelomeningocele
a birth defect where there is a
sac protruding from the spinal column.
Meningocele
Myelomeningocele
defect of the backbone
(spine), spinal cord and spinal canal. Most
serious form of spina bifida.

Dorsal Recumbent Position
However, you need to elevate 1 buttock– put a small rolled towel under the right buttock.
Rationale: Kapag umangat ang right
side, displaced ang uterus so that the
** inferior vena cava** will not be
compressed. This prevents vena caval
syndrome.
