Abstract

Objective: The objective was to determine if maternal rest in the left lateral recumbent position increases the estimated fetal weight (EFW) in fetuses classified by the Delphi consensus as growth restricted (FGR) or small-for-gestational age (SGA).

Study design: This was a retrospective observational study of 265 fetuses classified as FGR or SGA using the Delphi consensus. After the diagnosis of FGR or SGA, the patient was asked to begin resting in the left lateral recumbent position during her waking hours for 2 weeks. The EFW was measured 2 weeks following maternal rest.

Results: Of the 265 fetuses, FGR was identified in 56% (148/265) and SGA in 44% (117/265). Following maternal rest, the median values for the EFW percentile were significantly greater than at the time of diagnosis of FGR (18 vs. 5.96) and SGA (19 vs. 7.39). Following maternal rest, the EFW increased from < 10th percentile (100%) to greater than the 10th percentile in 70% of FGR and 82% of SGA fetuses.

Conclusions: Fetuses with growth restriction or who were small-for-gestational age significantly increased their weight from below to above the 10th percentile following 2 weeks of maternal rest.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography. The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents. JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
