Background: Fetal biophysical profile is a well-established method of antepartum surveillance in high risk pregnancy. Classical biophysical profile with all parameters (fetal breathing movements, fetal tone, fetal gross body movements, amniotic fluid volume and non-stress test) needs two phase testing by ultrasound and external Doppler monitor to record fetal heart rate, is more cumbersome, time consuming and expensive.Methods: This study was a prospective clinical study which consisted of 70 patients having pregnancy with high risk factors. The patients were evaluated with the modified biophysical profile consisting of NST recording for 20mins, followed ultrasound assessment of amniotic fluid volume, using four quadrant technique.Results: When the Modified biophysical profile is normal, it gives reassurance that the fetal status is good with good perinatal outcome. When the MBPP is abnormal there is increased incidence of perinatal morbidity as well as mortality.Conclusions: Modified biophysical profile is an effective primary antepartum fetal surveillance test in high risk pregnancies in predicting perinatal outcome.

ABSTRACT Objectives The study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of routine estimation of amniotic fluid volume using the amniotic fluid index (AFI) as a means of predicting an adverse perinatal outcome in low-risk pregnancies. Materials and methods Five hundred and three singleton lowrisk pregnancies with cephalic presentation between 37 and 40 weeks and 6 days of gestation with intact or ruptured membranes had AFI estimations within 36 hours of delivery. Results The frequency of nonreassuring fetal heart patterns and perinatal outcomes among patients with oligohydramnios (<5 cm), borderline oligohydramnios (5 to 8 cm) and normal (>8 cm) liquor were compared and not found to be different. Cesarean section for nonreassuring fetal status was also similar in the three groups. Conclusion This study suggests that AFI estimation during labor in low-risk pregnancies does not predict adverse perinatal outcomes. Further studies are needed to verify this impression.
