The Fetal Lounge offers fetal medicine scans, screening tests, prenatal procedures and genetic testing in Kottayam. We use a GE VOLUSON E6 Radiance ultrasound machine, one of the higher-end machines available in the field of Fetal Medicine.
Being Obstetricians and Gynecologists, in addition to fetal medicine services we also provide OP consultation for pregnancy-related and gynecologic problems. We offer guidance and tie-up facilities for patients requiring vaginal, laparoscopic and vNOTES surgeries.
Ultrasound scans are an integral part of our practice. They are scheduled at various stages of pregnancy to guide the management and care of the mother and child. The two most important are performed at 3 months and 5 months, referred to as the NT Scan and the TIFFA Scan. We use 3D and 4D technology to aid our assessment as required, and are certified by the Fetal Medicine Foundation, London in the performance of these scans.
The science of Fetal Medicine is not just about scans. We also use other investigative modalities, including maternal blood tests, to assess fetal health.
Alongside scans and blood tests we use amniotic fluid tests to assess fetal health. At times we are also able to offer treatment for certain conditions — intrauterine transfusion for fetal anemia is a prime example of how a baby’s life can be saved through timely intervention.
