Program Description:
The mission of the Fetal Wellness Center is to provide the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art fetal evaluation and therapy services in the state of New Jersey and one of the best in the country. The Fetal Wellness Center provides ultrasound evaluation for pregnant women whose primary physician's office lacks the ability to perform this (and other) important tests. Information is quickly relayed to the treating physician, so that he or she can manage the pregnancy in the most optimal fashion. The three main elements of the mission are high-quality care, research and education. A wide variety of fetal procedures are also carried out, including targeted sonography to assess fetal anomalies, non-stress tests, biophysical profiles, Doppler velocimetry, fetal echocardiography, percutaneous umbilical blood samplings, chorionic villus samplings, amniocentesis, fetal surgery and first trimester nuchal translucency combined screening.
Special Services:
- The core component of the Fetal Wellness Center is the Antenatal Testing Unit (ATU) at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital which is staffed with 14 Maternal-Fetal Medicine faculty members and three Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellows on a rotational basis. In addition, 8 sonographers cover five examination rooms equipped with state-of-the-art ultrasound machines with color flow Doppler and 3D/4D imaging capabilities. More than 12,000 fetal examinations are performed each year with a significant portion of the examinations performed on patients referred from regional hospitals and physicians.
- All ATU activities are under the supervision of Dr. Lami Yeo who is supervised by the director of the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (John C. Smulian M.D., M.P.H). The specific criteria for faculty participation include: a) license to practice medicine in the state of New Jersey, b) completion of an approved Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship, c) full-time employment with the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and d) experience in performing fetal ultrasound examinations and procedures. The specific criteria for sonographers' participation include: a) Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer status or Registry eligible, and b) at least one year experience in fetal ultrasonography.
