Before Taking OB Measurements
OB Basic Information
Enter the information required for OB diagnosis in the Patient Information screen. The basic OB
information includes LMP (Last Menstrual Period) and Number of Fetuses.
Once LMP is entered, EDD (Estimated Delivery Date) and GA (Gestational Age) are calculated
automatically. LMP is required for the calculation of values such as EDD and SD in obstetrics
measurement.
X
EDD (LMP) = LMP + 280 days
X
GA (LMP) = Current System Date – LMP
X
LMP = Ovul. Date –14
The physician may choose to override the LMP and manually enter the EDD into ‘EDD (LMP)'.
Once the expected delivery date is entered, GA (Gestational Age) is automatically calculated
and displayed. EDD (LMP) is renamed to EDD, while GA (LMP) is renamed to GA (EDD).
Once DOC is entered, EDD (Estimated Delivery Date) and GA (Gestational Age) are calculated
automatically. EDD (LMP) is renamed to EDD (DOC), while GA (LMP) is renamed to GA (DOC).
Once GA is entered, EDD (Estimated Delivery Date) is entered automatically. EDD (LMP) is
renamed to EDD (GA), while GA (LMP) is renamed to GA (Clin).
A maximum of four fetuses can be entered as Number of Fetuses. The default value is ‘1’. In the
case of twins, enter ‘2’.
