METHOD FOR AMNIOTIC FLUID VOLUME DETERMINATION IN SECOND HALF OF PREGNANCY Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B5/107 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: body mass index per Quetelet is determined in the first trimester of pregnancy. Prior to delivery, the abdominal circumference at the navel level of the, the uterine fundus height are measured. The estimated fetus weight is determined and the amniotic fluid volume V is calculate by the formula V = 0.017×UFH×(AC-25×BMI/GP)^2-W, where UFH is the uterine fundus height (cm), AC is the abdominal circumference of the pregnant woman (cm), BMI is the body mass index per Quetelet in the first trimester of pregnancy (kg/m²), GP is the gestation period (weeks), W is the estimated fetal weight (g).

EFFECT: method allows to increase the accuracy of amniotic fluid volume determination in pregnant women due to application of instrumental and laboratory methods of investigation.
