Maternal Serum Screening

Maternal Serum Screening: Essential Insights for Prenatal Care
In this informative video, we explore the critical role of maternal serum screening in prenatal care, a non-invasive test that evaluates the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and other fetal conditions during pregnancy. Maternal serum screening is a cornerstone of early prenatal diagnostics, providing essential information that can guide further testing and decision-making for expectant parents.
We’ll cover the different types of maternal serum screening tests, including the first-trimester combined screening, second-trimester quad screening, and integrated/sequential screening. Each test's methodology, the biomarkers measured, and their interpretation will be discussed in detail, with an emphasis on detecting conditions like Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and neural tube defects.
This video is designed for obstetricians, sonographers, genetic counselors, and medical students, offering a comprehensive understanding of how maternal serum screening integrates with other prenatal diagnostic tools. We’ll discuss the significance of positive and negative results, potential follow-up procedures like amniocentesis or non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), and the importance of counseling to ensure informed decision-making.
