Özet:

 Aims: The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of electromagnetic field exposure during pregnancy on fetal anthropometric measurements by means of ultrasonography. Methods: This is a cross sectional study. The study was conducted among 261 pregnant women who applied to the Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinic. A face-to-face questionnaire was applied to 261 volunteer pregnant women and fetal anthropometric measurements head circumference HC, abdominal circumference AC, femur length FL, biparietal diameter BPD were performed by transabdominal ultrasound. Results: The mean age of the pregnant women in this study was 29.65  6. 140. 53.6 of the pregnant women were between the ages of 25-34, 260 99.6 were married, 85 32.6 were high school graduates and 184 70.5 were housewives. The income of 116 44.4 pregnant women was equal to their expenses. The frequency of those exposed to electromagnetic fields at home is 98.5. There was no difference found between FL, AC, HC and BPD values and electromagnetic field exposure at home, exposure to x-ray or tomography p0.05. It was observed that FL, HC, BPD ultrasonographic measurement values were significantly lower in people exposed to electromagnetic field at work compared to those not exposed to electromagnetic field at work. Conclusion: It was observed that FL, HC, BPD ultrasonographic measurement values were significantly lower in people exposed to electromagnetic field at work. There are studies that show the negative effects of electromagnetic field on the fetus, especially during pregnancy, although there is no definitive evidence. Studies to be carried out on this subject can be a guide for protection from the negative effects of electromagnetic field.

 Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı gebelikte elektromanyetik alan maruziyetinin fetal antropometrik ölçümler üzerine etkisini ultrasonografi yardımıyla değerlendirmektir. Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Araştırma Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum polikliniğine başvuran 261 gebe ile gerçekleştirildi. 261 gönüllü gebeye yüz yüze anket uygulandı ve transabdominal ultrason ile fetal antropometrik ölçümler baş çevresi HC, karın çevresi AC, femur uzunluğu FL, bipariyetal çap BPD yapıldı. Bulgular:Araştırmaya katılan gebelerin yaş ortalaması 29,656,140 idi. Gebelerin 140ı 53,6 25-34 yaş aralığında, 260ı 99,6 evli, 85i 32,6 lise mezunuydu. 184ü 70,5 ev hanımıydı. 116 44,4 gebenin geliri harcamalarına eşitti. Evde elektromanyetik alanlara maruz kalanların sıklığı 98,5ti. FL, AC, HC ve BPD değerleri ile evde elektromanyetik alan maruziyeti, röntgen veya tomografiye maruz kalma arasında fark bulunamadı p0,05. İş yerinde elektromanyetik alana maruz kalan kişilerde FL, HC, BPD ultrasonografik ölçüm değerlerinin iş yerinde elektromanyetik alana maruz kalmayanlara göre anlamlı derecede düşük olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: İş yerinde elektromanyetik alana maruz kalan kişilerde FL, HC, BPD ultrasonografik ölçüm değerlerinin anlamlı derecede düşük olduğu görüldü. Kesin bir kanıt bulunmamakla birlikte, özellikle hamilelik döneminde elektromanyetik alanın fetüs üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerini gösteren çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu konuda yapılacak çalışmalar elektromanyetik alanın olumsuz etkilerinden korunmak için yol gösterici olabilir.
