Experiences with using the biophysical profile according to Manning et al. in diagnosing the danger to the fetus in at risk pregnancy are presented. Examinations were carried out in 143 pregnant women. In 33 of them the following parameters were evaluated with respect to the values of the biophysical profile: placental maturity, urinary estriol, term and mode of termination of pregnancy, body weight, body length, and Apgar score of newborns. The authors recommend to extend this diagnostic method so that in interpreting the results it yields not only the overall clinical state of the pregnant woman should be considered but also biological rhythms of physiologic functions of the fetus as well the administration of drugs to the woman in pregnancy.
