Abstract:

Ultrasonographic evaluation of fetal biophysical profile that include fetal movement, breathing and heart rate for fetal wellbeing. To evaluate the fetal biophysical profile and its relationship with APGAR score. Methodology: Cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at Farhat Trust Medical Center using convenient sampling for the duration of 7 months. 120 pregnant females of 18-45 year of age were included in this study and females with any pelvic pathology were excluded from our study. Ultrasound Machine, Toshiba Xario Convex probe frequency 3.5 to 7.5 MHz was used. Significant association between BPP score and APGAR score was found. Out of 120 patients, there were 4 patients who had 4-6 BPP score and their APGAR score was 4-6, there were 37 patients who had 7-8 BPP score and out of 37, 14 patients had 4-6 APGAR score, 17 had 7-8 APGAR score, 6 had 9-10 APGAR score, there were 79 patients with 9-10 BPP score. Out of 79 patients 7 had 4-6 APGAR score, 56 had 7-8 APGAR score and 16 had 9-10 APGAR score.. The mean value of BPD was 88.1167 and SD value was 5.66900, mean value of HC was 255.7417 and SD value was 41.04363, mean value of AC was 268.4583 and SD value was 40.18380, mean value of FL was 77.3250 and SD value was 8.31134, mean value of AFI was 11.0408 and SD value was 3.09020, mean value of FHR was 130.7083 and SD value was 9.19663n and lastly EFW mean value was 2.7142 and their SD value was 0.40320. Out of 104 patients with normal movement, 103 had adequate amniotic fluid level and 1 had polyhydramnios. Out of 16 patients with sluggish movement, 5 had adequate amniotic fluid level, 9 had oligohydramnios and 2 had polyhydramnios. Out of 104 patients with normal movement, 103 had adequate amniotic fluid level and 1 had polyhydramnios. Out of 16 patients with sluggish movement, 5 had adequate amniotic fluid level, 9 had oligohydramnios and 2 had polyhydramnios. It is concluded that fetal biophysical profile scores on ultrasound are strongly associated with neonatal outcomes in terms of APGAR score.
