Critical Ultrasound - Hyperoxygenation Test to Assess Right Lung Function

Fetal Weight Estimate: 1828 gm, 4 lbs, 0 oz. Wt is 52% for 31.9 wks.

Through all the prior ultrasounds the doctors had been very worried about Jayden's lung function as they had not seen clear indication of blood flow pattern in the right pulmonary artery. We had been told that if he was going to have a chance to survive, he would have to have good results off this test.

Results: 

Left CDH with cardiac displacement towards the right chest wall, no significant liver herniation.

LHR is 1.1. 

Kidneys appear echogenic.

Positive hyperoxygenation test with diastolic blood flow pattern in the right pulmonary artery!
