[Diagnostic value of Doppler ultrasonography in the evaluation of the status of uterine blood flow in puerperium].

A study of 118 puerperants+ revealed that Doppler metry objectively evaluated the artery blood flow in the postpartum uterus. There was a progressive increase in uterine vascular resistance in the uncomplicated postpartum period following spontaneous labour, whereas there was a reduction in peripheral resistance in the endometritis-complicated period, which caused a rise in the end-diastolic blood flow. Postpartum uterine blood flow following cesarean section displayed low peripheral resistance in the presence or absence of an inflammatory process.
