About this trial

The purpose of this research study is to study the use of an ultrasound measurement system (USCOM) for patients with newly diagnosed fetal growth restriction (FGR). This system uses a technology to measure how much blood is being pumped in and out of the heart, which is important for understanding the heart's function in relation to pregnancy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Pregnant patients with a new diagnosis of fetal growth restriction (estimated fetal weight <10th percentile or abdominal circumference <10th percentile) in the third trimester (gestational age >27w6d)

Disqualifiers

Multiple gestation

Fetal anomalies

Gestational diabetes or pregestational diabetes.

Trial population

Patients with newly diagnosed fetal growth restriction at greater than 27 weeks 6 days' gestation will be eligible to enroll in this study.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Systemic vascular resistance obtained from USCOM

Cardiac output related to systemic vascular resistance (SVR) obtained from the USCOM device. SVR is an indicator of general resistance experienced within the circulatory system and is correlated with an array of cardiac related adverse health outcomes. The USCOM device uses noninvasive ultrasonographic technology to determine SVR at the time of prenatal ultrasound.

Time frame
every 2-4 weeks at time of prenatal ultrasound, until the end of pregnancy
