AbstractBackground & Objective: To improve the obstetric result in high risk pregnancy by ante partum fetal assessment by biophysical profile scoring. Methods: 50 patients of high risk pregnancy were selected after 32 weeks of gestation and five variables of biophysical profile were scored. Results: BPP score 10/10 in 40% cases 8/10 in 32% cases & 6/10 or less in 28% cases. NST was reactive in 60% cases and non reactive in 40 % cases. AFI was less than 5 in 12% cases. Delivery was by LSCS in 32% cases. NICU admission was 68% of which maximum had BPP score was 6 or less. Interpretation & Conclusion: Fetal biophysical profile is a very effective method for ante partum fetal surveillance. It has been seen low biophysical profile score of fetus results in increase operative delivery, birth asphyxia, low APGAR, increased NICU admission.
