Vasa Previa Screening: Mapping Fetal Vessels Near the Cervix with Doppler
0% Complete
Course Overview
Educational Need / Practice Gap: Vasa previa is often missed without targeted screening in high-risk cases. Inconsistent Doppler technique and documentation can delay diagnosis.
Objectives
Identify clinical scenarios that require vasa previa screening.
2. Perform targeted transvaginal and Doppler mapping to evaluate fetal vessels near the
internal os.
3. Document findings clearly and recommend urgent referral when suspected.
Content Outline (Subtitles):
● Why vasa previa is high-stakes
● Risk factors prompting screening
● Transvaginal technique + low-velocity Doppler tips
● Distinguishing fetal vs maternal vessels
● Documentation checklist + escalation pathway
● Case review: true positive vs false positive
