ABSTRACT: Objective: To study MgSO4 effect on fetal
MCA and UA blood flow changes using
Doppler ultrasound in cases of severe PET and eclampsia. Materials and Methods: A
total of 40 patients with severe PET admitted to El-Shatby Maternity University
Hospital, Alexandria (Egypt) were examined before and after administration of
MgSO4 using Doppler study to measure fetal MCA and UA
blood flow changes. Results: After administration of MgSO4,
the mean RI of UA, PI of UA showed a statistically significant decrease (P The C/U (cerebroumblical)
ratio increased after the treatment (P Conclusions: Infusion
of MgSO4 significantly decreases the fetal RI, PI, SDR umbilical and
increases the fetal RI, PI, SDR MCA and increases cerebroumblical ratio indices
obtained by Doppler examinations.
