Supports feasibility of physician fetal PR measurement after minimal training; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Can physicians accurately measure the pulsed Doppler-derived fetal PR interval after minimal training compared to an experienced central reader?
Pulsed Doppler assessment of the mechanical PR interval in fetuses can be accurately performed by physicians after minimal training, providing a reliable tool for early identification of conduction abnormalities.
Glickstein et al. (2003) studied this question.
