2nd/3rd Trimester OB US (last edited 11/07/2019)
(last reviewed 11/07/2019)

  1. Sagittal midline cervix, show internal os and placenta relationship
  2. Sagittal view to demonstrate fetal lie.
  3. At least three images of placenta (sagittal of lower edge, sagittal of upper edge, transverse)
  4. AFI or MVP for amniotic fluid volume.  If MVP, sagittal and transverse views of largest pocket
  5. Depth measurement of largest amniotic fluid pocket
  6. Two BPD measurements and two HC measurements at level of thalami and cavum septum
  7. Image the cavum septum, cerebellum/posterior fossa, choroid/lateral ventricles
  8. Coronal view of nose, lips, mouth
  9. Sagittal profile of nose, lips, chin
  10. Axial view of neck at correct angle, color doppler if abnormal
  11. Three sagittal views of spine: cervical, thoracic, lumbosacral
  12. Three representative transverse images of cervical, thoracic, lumbosacral spine.  Important to perform meticulous dynamic scan of spine transverse from cervical through sacrum to identify posterior defects
  13. Image diaphragm
  14. Image 4 chamber heart
  15. M-mode heart rate
  16. Coronal or sagittal chest/abdomen to show heart and stomach on left side
  17. Transverse images of both kidneys
  18. Sagittal images of both kidneys
  19. Image urinary bladder 
  20. Image stomach
  21. Two AC measurements, at level of umbilical vein
  22. Two FL measurements
  23. Transverse image 3 vessel cord.  RES this image.
  24. Transverse color doppler through fetal bladder showing 2 umbilical arteries
  25. Doppler of 3 vessel cord, measure SD ratio
  26. Cord insertion to ventral wall
  27. Four major extremities
  28. Label:  stomach, kidneys, bladder, heart, posterior fossa, cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbosacral spine, 3 vessel cord, cord insertion
  29. Report page (1st and 2nd pages)
  30. Print growth chart


Placenta:

Sagittal and transverse views.  Show relationship to internal os.

Amniotic Fluid Volume:

Use four quadrant AFI per protocol.  May also use MVP.

Fetus:

Show fetal lie.  Fetal measurements.  Fetal survey.  Doppler 3-vessel cord.  M-mode heart rate.


Always scan spine transverse cervical --> sacral to exclude any dysraphism


NOTES SECOND/THIRD TRIMESTER: 

Our goal with respect to transvaginal scanning in second/third trimester gestations is to never miss placenta previa.  We should also not miss imaging findings of cervical incompetence.  As such, guidelines are as follows for second/third trimester OB US:
  • Perform transvaginal US if there are findings suggesting placenta previa.
  • Perform transvaginal US if the relationship of the inferior tip of the placenta and the internal cervical os has not been established on 2nd/3rd trimester prior US. 
  • Perform transvaginal US if the inferior tip of the placenta is <4cm from internal os on transabdominal US.  https://my.statdx.com/document/placenta-previa/a6bc678f-d5a0-4199-a10c-7ba866e4079c?searchTerm=previa
  • If the patient has symptoms (pain, bleeding) good images of the cervix are essential.  If you cannot visualize the cervix adequately on transabdominal imaging, perform transvaginal US. 
  • If the cervix has abnormal morphology (funneling, Y-shaped, V-shaped, U-shaped) or appears shortened (<3cm length) on transabdominal US, perform transvaginal US. 
  • Perform transvaginal US if requested by referring healthcare provider. 

If the patient declines, or if the referring healthcare provider indicates that he/she does not want transvaginal US performed, do not perform transvaginal US.
