Spanish term or phrase: Izq. Uterina (PS, ED, MD)
I'm trying to figure out the following medical report (obstetrics):

Under "Mediciones Doppler"
Izq. Uterina
-PS: (Perhaps SBS?)
-ED:
-MD:

Values are given in cm/s if that helps.

Thanks.

Left uterine (artery) (PS, ED, MD)
Explanation:
PS : peak systolic (velocity)
ED: end diastolic (velocity)
MD: maximum diastolic (velocity)

Ref:
The Doppler parameters used in obstetrics to measure the blood flow in these vessels are end-diastolic velocity (EDV), peak systolic velocity (PSV), pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and systolic to diastolic ratio (S/D ratio).

A reasonable definition for a diastolic notch is a drop of at least 50 cm/s from the maximum diastolic velocity

Color Doppler ultrasound was used to obtain uterine artery waveforms at 19-24 weeks' gestation in 458 nulliparas. In each uterine artery, the resistance index (RI), the ratio between peak systolic (A) and early diastolic (C) blood flow velocities (AC ratio) (a measure of the early notch in the uterine artery waveform), and placental position were recorded

Perdón Charles y Helena; parece que llegué tarde!!! Ojo que en este caso se mide la caída de la velocidad diastólica MÁXIMA.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Charles Davis: MD could be minimum, not maximum, diastolic velocity; it is in my source, and in Helena's. We would need to see the figures. But if you leave it as MD it doesn't matter anyway!

agree  Charles Davis: Yes, they are English abbreviations: PS is peak systolic velocity, ED is end diastolic velocity and MD is minimum diastolic velocity

  -> I didn't answer the question because I didn't think we were allowed to answer three terms in the same question. Thank you, Charles :-)
