Check the obstetric data

Validate DUM, DPP, GPA and risk before you examine.

What you will learn

  • How the system calculates gestational age and the due date
  • How to correct the calculation from the ultrasound
  • How to unlock blocked fields with 'Permitir Edição'

Step by step

  1. 1

    Select the patient — the system pre-fills what it already knows.

  2. 2

    Enter the DUM (last menstrual period): gestational age and DPP (estimated due date) are calculated on the spot.

  3. 3

    If there is an ultrasound, fill in the DPP pelo USG (due date by ultrasound) to correct the gestational age.

  4. 4

    To change GPA, type of pregnancy or risk, click Permitir Edição (allow editing) on the field.

  5. 5

    Move through the tabs: Dados Obstétricos, Consultas do Dia, Anamnese, Exames and Receitas.

Speed shortcut

The fields come locked on purpose. 'Permitir Edição' is the button you are looking for whenever a value seems stuck.

Why this matters

A wrong gestational age contaminates everything downstream: how you read fundal height, the window for routine tests, the estimated date of delivery and the risk classification itself. Thirty seconds checking DUM and DPP here save you from a plan built on the wrong date.

Best practices

Always do it this way

  • When there is a first-trimester ultrasound, it wins: fill in the DPP pelo USG.
  • Review the GPA at the first appointment of the pregnancy and only change it later with a reason.
  • Go through the tabs in the order you see patients — the system follows the logic of the consultation, not of the form.

Common mistakes

The gestational age differs from the one I calculated.

The default calculation is from the DUM. Fill in the DPP pelo USG and the system switches to the ultrasound.

I can't edit GPA, type of pregnancy or risk.

Those fields are locked against accidental changes. Click 'Permitir Edição' just below the field.
