First Trimester:  Gestational Age 

Dr. Ulrike Dehaeck

In the first trimester measuring the Crown Rump Length (CRL) is an easy and accurate way to confirm gestational age. Watch as Dr. Dehaeck demonstrates how to measure the CRL and perform m-mode to measure fetal heart rate. On completion of the POCUS exam she will create a video that she can send to her patient using Act One.
