Abstract
Amniotic fluid temperature in first trimester pregnancies and fetal subcutaneous tissue and amniotic fluid temperature in second trimester pregnancies, measured by a thermocouple probe, did not increase during sector, linear-array or Doppler ultrasound scanning. The mean fetal muscle temperature was higher (36.9.degree. C) than mean amniotic fluid temperature (36.6.degree. C) during the second trimester.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
