Understanding the Biophysical Profile: Assessing Fetal Health during Pregnancy

The biophysical profile (BPP) is a prenatal screening test used to assess the well-being and development of a fetus during pregnancy. This video provides a concise summary of the BPP, explaining its purpose, components, and interpretation.
We start by introducing the BPP as a valuable tool in monitoring fetal health. The BPP combines ultrasound evaluation and fetal heart rate monitoring to assess five specific biophysical parameters: fetal movement, fetal tone, amniotic fluid volume, fetal breathing movements, and fetal heart rate reactivity.
Throughout the video, we highlight the importance of BPP interpretation by qualified healthcare professionals who can consider the individual circumstances and clinical context of each pregnancy.
By the end of the video, viewers will have a clear understanding of the biophysical profile, its purpose, and the significance of each parameter assessed. They will gain insight into how the BPP can help healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding the well-being of the fetus and ensure the best possible outcomes for both the mother and the baby.
