Presentation

  • Following the combined screening model for first trimester Down Syndrome, which combines clinical, biochemical and ultrasound markers, other models have been developed for the early prediction of the most important gestational complications, such as pre-eclampsia (with effective treatment), prematurity and gestational diabetes (with less predictive success). Practical methodology for measuring nuchal translucency, fetal anatomy and echocardiography will be taught. In recent years there has been a rapid evolution of genetic techniques, from having a single genetic study available, karyotyping, to non-invasive methods, rapid techniques and techniques with higher resolution than karyotyping. An update on this subject is a clear need for the midwifery profession.
