Obstetrical Exams
Doppler ultrasound in an obstetrical application is used primarily to reassure the mother
of the presence of fetal viability. In some patients the fetal heart can be heard as early as
8 to 12 weeks. It should be audible 95% of the time in 12-week pregnancies and nearly
100% after 14 weeks.
The 3 MHz probe is designed to be used early in pregnancy. The 2 MHz waterproof probe
is for use later in pregnancy in larger patients, or for use in water labors and/or deliveries.
The exam is most easily done with the patient supine, although it may also be accomplished
in a sitting or standing position. Expose the abdomen and apply a generous amount of
coupling gel to the face of the probe. It is important to maintain good coupling at all times
with no air bubbles between the probe and the abdomen.
