New publication | How to measure ophthalmic artery Doppler for pre-eclampsia screening I’m delighted to share our latest article, co-authored with Dr Thomas Hanton, now published in Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology. The article provides a practical, step-by-step guide to performing ophthalmic artery Doppler, with a focus on achieving consistent, reproducible measurements for clinical practice and research. Key takeaways include: • Why the PSV2/PSV1 ratio is a powerful, non-invasive marker relevant to pre-eclampsia. • Evidence showing improved second-trimester screening performance when ophthalmic artery Doppler is incorporated into prediction models. • A detailed acquisition protocol covering insonation technique, Doppler settings and image optimisation. • Practical guidance on safety, reproducibility and implementation. • The potential role of ophthalmic artery Doppler as an accessible screening tool, particularly in low-resource settings. I hope this practical guide will support clinicians, sonographers and researchers working to improve the early detection of pre-eclampsia. Many thanks to my co-author Dr Thomas Hanton for this excellent collaboration.
