Gupta VK, Adams JH, Heiser T, et al. - Researchers examined whether the duration of the detailed fetal anatomic ultrasound examination is associated with maternal body mass. They performed a retrospective chart review of patients presenting to their clinic for detailed fetal anatomic examinations between January 1, 2010, and June 30, 2017, and included a total of 6,522 examinations after excluding multifetal pregnancies and other examinations expected to have a longer duration. Mean BMI of 29.3 (±7.7) and mean examination time of 51.5 (±10.4) minutes were reported. With BMI, an increase in the duration of detailed fetal anatomic examinations was observed. For gravid patients with class III obesity vs those for gravid patients with normal BMIs, examinations lasted 8.9 minutes longer; for gravid patients with BMIs of 50 or higher, examinations lasted 13.5 minutes longer. This information may aid in fetal ultrasound examination scheduling.
