Understanding Color Doppler Obstetrical with BPS (Bio-Physical Score)
What is Color Doppler Obstetrical with BPS (Bio-Physical Score)?
Color doppler obstetrical with BPS is a prenatal test used for inspecting fetus health. It combines ultrasound doppler with heart rate monitoring. Biophysical scoring is recommended if you have pregnancy complications, are obese, have a medical condition, or are older than 35 years.
During the test, a gel will be applied to the abdomen. A transducer helps observe the baby's movement on the monitor. This test is usually taken after 32 weeks of pregnancy.
Biophysical scoring is 2 for meeting the criteria and 0 for not meeting the criteria on the following parameters which include fetus heart rate, movement, muscle tone, breathing, and amniotic level. A total score greater than/equal to 8 is normal. A score of 6 may need retesting.
