OB graphs
Overview
OB Graphs allow you to assess fetal growth compared to a
normal growth curve. When a patient has completed two or
more ultrasound exams, you can also use the graphs to look at
fetal trending. For multi-gestational patients you can plot all
fetuses and compare the growth on the graphs.
Vivid S5/Vivid S6 provides the following two basic types of
graphs:
• Fetal Growth Curve graphs - show one measurement per
graph. These graphs show the normal growth curve,
positive and negative standard deviations or applicable
percentiles, and ultrasound age of the fetus using the
current measurement. For multi-gestational pregnancies,
you can show curves for all fetuses. If previous exam data
is available, the graph can show fetal trending.
• Fetal Growth Bar graph - shows the ultrasound age and
the gestational age based on patient data. Plots all
measurements on one graph.
To view OB graphs
1. Press Worksheet.
2. Press the Graph soft-key button
The Fetal growth curve graph is displayed (see
Figure 7-62).
