| Résumé : | Diagnostic ultrasound, two dimensional echography, and Doppler fetal heart detection were used in 250 patients with clinical symptoms or medical history of threatened abortion. Ultrasound was found to be an accurate diagnostic procedure in 96% of the 224 women in whom ultrasound diagnosis was indicated and in 86% when all women studied were considered. This method appears to be very useful in demonstrating the growth of the gestation sac and fetus, placental retention, and whether the uterus is empty. The patient's hospital stay can be shortened when it is recognized that the uterus is empty. |
