MODIFIED BIOPHYSICAL PROFILE AND FETAL OUTCOME

Dr. K. Vijayalakshmi, Dr. M. Sivakumari

Abstract :

The goal of antepartum fetal surveillance is to decrease the perinatal morbidity and mortality. Modified bio physical pofile is an antepartum surveillance test combining NST and AFI. We tested the high risk antepartum cases admitted in ASRAM hospital Eluru, from March 2015 to October 2016 with MBPP, and compared the foetal outcome(colour of liquor, APGAR,NICU admission). MBPP has a 95.6% sensitivity and 39.3% specificity in diagnosing foetal distress. MBPP gives reassurance that the foetal status is good when the test results are normal. The same do not hold true when we have abnormal results, it could be a false alarm and requires reconfirmation of poor foetal status with conventional biophysical profile.
