Doppler evaluation of fetal and feto-maternal vessels during dystocia in cats: Four cases

Doppler ultrasonografi, başta teriyojenoloji olmak üzere veteriner hekimlikte sıklıkla başvurulan yöntemlerden biri olmaya başlamıştır. İnsanlarda özellikle patolojik gebeliklerde fötal iyilik halinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu makalede, tıp ve veteriner hekimliğinde yer alan literatürlerin derlenmesiyle beraber, veteriner obstetrik patolojilerde Doppler ultrasonografi kullanımının aydınlatılması amaçlanmıştır. Güç doğum şikayeti bulunan dört adet kedi ve bu kedilere ait fötuslarda fötal ve maternal hemodinamik değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, fötal ve föto-maternal damarlara ait akım hızlarının gebelik patolojilerinin belirlenmesinde kullanılabileceği ve güç doğum olgularında tercih edilecek tedavi metodunun belirlenmesinde yardımcı olabileceği düşünülmüştür.

Kedilerde güç doğum sırasında fötal ve föto-maternal damarların Doppler değerlendirilmesi: Dört olgu

Doppler ultrasonography has been becoming an essential tool in veterinary medicine, especially in theriogenology. It has being widely used for the evaluation of fetal well-being in pathologic pregnancies in human medicine. The paper highlights the usage of Doppler ultrasonography in veterinary obstetrical pathologies with a review of literature of human and veterinary medicine. Four cats with dystocia and their fetuses were evaluated for fetal and maternal hemodynamics. As a conclusion, fow velocity of the fetal and feto-maternal vessels can inform us of the existence of the pathology related to gestation and also can help choosing the method of treatment in veterinary medicine.
