Study Notes
Antepartum Testing
- Non-invasive visualization: Ultrasound is a non-invasive way to visualize the fetus and its environment in antepartum testing.
Goals and Indications
- Goal of antepartum testing: To identify fetal well-being and detect potential problems before birth.
- Indications for antepartum testing: Most conditions, EXCEPT a low-risk pregnancy with no complications.
Biophysical Profile
- Purpose of biophysical profile: To assess fetal brain function, heart rate, and physical movements in antepartum testing.
Ultrasound Preparation
- Full bladder requirement: A full bladder is required for an abdominal ultrasound, usually when the fetus is in a posterior position.

Description
Test your knowledge on antepartum high-risk home-lecture assessments of fetal well-being and antepartum testing. Learn about the methods used to optimize maternal-fetal dyads, identify at-risk fetuses, and minimize maternal anxiety, cost, and iatrogenic prematurity. Topics covered include non-stress tests, contraction stress testing, biophysical profiles, amniotic fluid volume assessment, and doppler flow velocimetry.
