OB/Gyn - Ultrasound Report
Hi everyone.
This is from a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound report: "Ecografia pelvica transvaginale: ... non si repertano echi embrionari pulsanti".
I don't know enough about this procedure to understand what they're looking for. Is it fetal heartbeat? In any case, what is the standard way to say this little expression in English?
This is a rare phrase in Italian: I only find three examples in a Google search and four examples of a slightly different spelling (echi embrionali pulsanti). Checking just "echi" + "embrionali" or "embrionari", it looks like "embrionali" is used more frequently.
Thanks for your help!

fetal cardiac pulsations
You are right, they are looking for fetal cardiac activity which can be seen as early as 5-6 weeks after the last menstrual period and is an early sign of a viable pregnancy. Conversely, if pulsations are absent in the presence of other signs of pregnancy, miscarriage may be impending.
"Fetal heart beat", "fetal cardiac pulsations" or similar are the terms I have encountered in this context. I am not aware of "pulsating echoes" terms, neither does the adjective "embryonal" (or "embryonic") seem to be in use for the first three months of organogenesis when the unborn child is formally called an "embryo".

Would it not be necessary to use "embryonal"?
I would definitively have expected the adjective "embryonal", but as I said, it does not really seem to be in use in English texts. Try and check "early pregnancy", "ultrasound", "cardiac pulsations", or similar terms in your search engine. Mine comes back with only *fetal* heart beat, or *fetal* cardiac activity/pulsations etc.

Note from asker:
| Hi Anne! Thank you again for your help and support. This pregnancy was at almost 8 weeks, so would it not be necessary to use "embryonal"? |
| Hi again, and thanks for supporting Liz's answer. That does seem to be the best translation given the context. I hope you're staying well and healthy. |
