Management of Complicated Monochorionic Twin Gestations: An Evidence-Based Protocol
Conclusions
Early pregnancy ultrasound, ideally between 10 and 13 weeks' gestation, is critical for the diagnosis and characterization of twin pregnancies. To improve outcomes for MC twins, appropriate fetal surveillance should be initiated at 16 weeks' gestation and continued until delivery.
Relevance
Improve perinatal outcomes in MC twin pregnancies.
Target Audience
Obstetricians and gynecologists, family physicians
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the learner should be better able to describe the sonographic findings used to establish the diagnosis of MC twin pregnancies; identify complications unique to MC twins pregnancies, including twin-twin transfusion syndrome, twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence, twin anemia polycythemia syndrome, co-twin demise, cord entanglement, and conjoined twins; and explain the management of complications associated with MC twin pregnancies.
