1. Safety
We recommend that exposure to ultrasound should be kept As Low As
Reasonably Achievable - (ALARA guidelines). This is considered to be
good practice and should be observed at all times.
Team 3 provides just one indicator of fetal condition. This should be
assessed as part of an holistic approach to obstetric care together
with other factors. A complete assessment must be made before taking
appropriate action. If there is any doubt concerning the accuracy of
any measurement, an alternative method should be used.
