"Giant's roll over" test for Pregnancy Induced Hypertension is done at:
A. 22-24 wksB. 28-32 wks
C. 24-26 wks
D. 32-34 wks
The Answer is. B. (28-32 wks)
This screening test for PIH is done
between 28-32 wks. BP is measured with the patient on her side first and then
the patient i asked to roll on her back to check the BP one again. An increase
of 20mHg in diastolic pressure from side to back position indicates a positive
"roll over test". A negative test is of value.
