What Does Fetal Medicine Involve?
In addition to patient and family counseling regarding the fetal condition, there are different aspects of fetal medicine which include non-invasive/ invasive screening and diagnostic studies:
Non-Invasive Testing
Ultrasonography -grayscale/ 2D/ 3D/ 4D with Colour Doppler is the most common and often first test used for prenatal diagnosis. This test creates an image of the fetus in the mother’s womb. During a fetal ultrasound, various parts of the baby such as the heart, head, and spine are identified and measured. The testing may be performed either through the mother’s abdomen (transabdominal) or vaginal canal (transvaginal). Fetal ultrasound provides a safe way to evaluate the health of an unborn baby. There are several types of fetal ultrasounds, each with specific advantages in certain situations. A Colour Doppler ultrasound, for example, helps to study the movement of blood through the umbilical cord between the fetus and placenta. A 3-D scan provides a life-like image of an unborn baby.
Other Tests Include
- Fetal heart evaluation by echocardiography
- A Blood test – of the mother is done at different timings during pregnancy to evaluate the growing fetal characteristics and assess several serious fetal afflictions including chromosomal fetal abnormalities like Downs Syndrome.
- At 10 – 13 weeks: Dual test
- At 16 – 20 weeks: Quadruple
- NIPT (Non-invasive Prenatal testing) of cell-free Fetal DNA in the mother’s blood
Invasive Testing
These tests require a form of surgical intervention, ranging from the insertion of a fine needle into the uterus under ultrasound guidance, to more invasive procedures such as foetoscopy. The most common invasive tests are:
- Amniocentesis – taking about 20 ml fluid from the sac around the baby and sending the fetal cells/ fluid for analysis.
- Chorionic villus sampling – taking a little placental tissue and sending the placental cell fluid for genetic analysis.
- Umbilical cord sampling – Also known as cordocentesis.
Can Fetal Disorders Be Treated Before Birth?
Fetal treatment or fetal therapy includes a series of interventions performed on the ‘sick’ fetus with the aim of achieving fetal well-being. These interventions include medical (i.e. non-invasive) and surgical procedures which can treat or mitigate several disorders. There are, however, some disorders which cannot be treated and in which case doctors can help families prepare for the care of such a child or plan for a termination.
