A biophysical profile (BPP) is a prenatal ultrasound evaluation of fetal well-being involving a scoring system, with the score being termed Manning's score.〔(Page 215 ), Chapter 39 on Biophysical Profile (BPP), in: Title: Diagnostic Ultrasound, Volume: 2, Issue: 1 of The Veterinary clinics of North America. Equine practice, Author: Norman W. Rantanen. Publisher: Jaypee Brothers Publishers, 1986. ISBN 9788184480641. Length: 261 pages〕 It is often done when a non-stress test (NST) is non reactive, or for other obstetrical indications. The "modified biophysical profile" consists of the NST and amniotic fluid index only. ==Procedure== The BPP has 5 components: 4 ultrasound (US) assessments and a NST. The NST evaluates fetal heart rate and response to fetal movement. The five discrete biophysical variables: # Fetal heart rate # Fetal breathing # Fetal movement # Fetal tone # Amniotic fluid volume Use of vibroacoustic stimulation to accelerate evaluation has been described. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「biophysical profile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
