The "high risk pregnancy clinic" is
run by the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The clinic provides free
consultation.
It aims at providing "surveillance
and management" of pregnancies at risk due to either:
- Past obstetric outcomes like
repeated abortions, previous still birth or neonatal deaths.
- Medical illnesses complicating
pregnancy - high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, liver disorders,
thyroid disorders, kidney diseases, anaemia.
- Events occurring during the present
pregnancy like growth restriction, prematurity, bleeding or leaking etc .
High risk patients often require
detailed assessment which involves:
- Genetic counselling
- Prenatal screening and diagnosis
with facilities which include biochemical marker screening, chorion villus
sampling, amniocentesis, fetal blood sampling and advanced ultrasound for
the detection of fetal anomalies. More than 5000 invasive procedures have
been carried out in the last 5 years,
- Extensive antepartum and
intrapartum fetal surveillance
- Specialised neonatal care
The department is fully equipped with
state-of-the-art facilities for providing the above mentioned care for these
pregnancies in liaison with the division of Fetal Medicine, Genetics and
Neonatology.
