The Function Buttons:

"Set U/S"
The "Set U/S" button calculates a new EDD and gestational age based on an ultrasound report. When you press it, you are prompted to enter the date on which the ultrasound was obtained. Then you are prompted to enter the gestational age on the ultrasound report. Use Graffiti to fill in the blanks. The result is a new LMP, EDD, and gestational age.



"GA Calc"
The "GA Calc" button brings up the first of two gestational age calculators. This one answers the question "when will my patient be at 39 weeks (or whatever GA you are interested in)?" You are simply prompted to enter (again using graffiti) the gestational age you are querying. Press calculate, and the date that the patient is at that gestational age is displayed on the right.





"Set Date"
The "Set Date" button answers the converse question -- eg "what gestational age will my patient be on, say, the 22nd of April?". Pressing this button brings up the calendar. Once you select a date, the program recalculates the gestational age and displays it on the main screen, leaving the LMP and EDD information unchanged.



"Measure"
The "Measure" button pops up the fetal measurements window, which displays biparietal diameter, crown rump length, femur length, mean weight, and head and abdominal circumference for relevant gestational ages. The data displayed are interpolated table data. Thus some numbers displayed may be calculated approximations, while others are actual data from validated series. This feature may be used to corroborate LMP dating, but use with caution.
