fundal

For example, a petite woman tends to peak around 35 centimeters, while obese women can have 'fundal' heights that far exceed their gestational age.

A longer labor in the hospital is usually ‘treated’ with Pitocin augmentation, instrumental delivery, 'fundal' pressure, episiotomy, or cesarean section.

Gestational age was determined for each subject using the best obstetrical estimate, which was based on a combination of facts including last menstrual period, sonographic estimate, and uterine 'fundal' height measurements.

Patients with evidence of hypersplenism and those having gastric 'fundal' varices were not included in the study.

When fetal heart tones are present, gestational age is determined by 'fundal' height, history, Leopold's maneuvers, or ultrasonography.

Specifically, cranial nerve defects, cerebellar dysfunction, papilledema or absent venous pulsations on 'fundal' examination, visual field defects, or motor or sensory deficits should be considered.

So, for example, if you're 24 weeks pregnant, your 'fundal' height should be 24 centimeters.

Routine fetal heart auscultation, urinalysis, and assessment of maternal weight, blood pressure, and 'fundal' height generally are recommended, although the evidence for these interventions is variable.

The ocular effects surveyed included photophobia, burning, watering sensation, red eye, superficial interpalpebral erosion, Bitot spots, corneal opacity, pterygium, discharge, and 'fundal' changes.

The review found that there is too little evidence to show whether symphysis 'fundal' height measurement during pregnancy is more beneficial than abdominal palpation.

When bleeding is not controlled by this manoeuvre, the usual cause is 'fundal' bleeding, and angiography is performed.

Measuring large for dates means your 'fundal' height is more than 2 centimeters larger than average for your stage of pregnancy, based on your due date.
