Introduction
Fetal well-being can be assessed using transcutaneous ultrasonography in the mare.
The human biophysical profile assesses fetal breathing movements, gross body
movements, fetal tone, reactive heart rate and a two centimeter (minimum) pocket of
amniotic fluid. A score of 2 is assigned for each variable, if the minimal criteria are
met and 0 if they are not. These scores are summed, resulting in a total score
between 0 and 10 for each fetus. The biophysical profile is a measure of the
likelihood of acute or chronic fetal hypoxemia and asphyxia and is highly correlated
with perinatal mortality and morbidity. A low score indicates fetal distress and the
need for immediate intervention, while a high score is compatible with fetal well-
being. The biophysical profile is used in late gestation human pregnancies to help
