Abstract

 

 

Low weight at birth is currently one of the priority health problems around the world, increasing the morbi-mortality risk. Cuba shows little quantities of low weight at birth, locating the country among the five ones with the lowest indicators in the world; nevertheless, low weight at birth, specifically the intrauterine growth restriction arises as a health problem due to the complications it produces, making its precocious prediction  vital to avoid death. The authors of this work have the objective of exposing theoretical referents related with the predictive value of the Doppler flowmetry in the restriction of the intrauterine growth on the bases of updated theoretical fundaments.  They arrive to the conclusion that combined Doppler flowmetry of the uterine and umbilical arteries has a predictive value in the restriction of intrauterine growth and its management and follow up.
