Abstract

Objective: Ductus venosus blood flow velocity measurements are mandatory in many clinical indications. The evaluation of the flow is performed either by comparing results with general reference tables or by qualitative assessment of the "a" flow, in regard to reversed or absent flow in the spectral waveforms. The aim was to develop normal reference ranges in low-risk pregnancies in our population.
