About this trial
This study focuses on elucidating the changes of hemodynamics assessed by USCOM and respiratory mechanics assessed by impedance oscillometry (IOS) over the course of pregnancy and the postpartum period. Additionally, to understand how these changes over the course of gestation relate to the development of preeclampsia.

Trial groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Stroke Volume
The volume of blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart with each heartbeat.
Cardiac Output
The total volume of blood pumped out of the heart and into the rest of the body with each heartbeat.
Systemic Vascular Resistance
The level of force (or resistance) against which the heart must work to pump blood into the circulatory system.
Cardiac Index
A measure of the pumping capacity of the heart, calculated by dividing one's cardiac output by their body surface area.
Secondary outcomes
Number of Gestational Hypertension
A state of high blood pressure triggered by the physiological changes specific to pregnancy.
Number of Preeclampsia
A pregnancy-related complication characterized by high blood pressure and systemic organ dysfunction that can be life-threatening.
Number of Fetal Growth Restriction
A complication where the fetus is growing much less than expected for the gestational age of the pregnancy (i.e., estimated fetal weight and/or fetal abdominal circumstance less than the 10th percentile).
Number of Spontaneous Preterm Birth
The spontaneous (labor not induced) delivery of a pregnancy before 37.0 weeks of gestation.
