Prophylactic amnioinfusion in oligohydramnios

Management of severe oligohydramnios with antepartum transabdominal amnioinfusion

Evaluation of Transabdominal Amnioinfusion in the Antepartum Management of Oligohydramnios Complicating Preterm Pregnancies

OBJECTIVES To assess the role of antepartum amnioinfusion in raising the amniotic fluid index and prolonging the pregnancy, and its effect on perinatal outcome in cases with pre term oligohydramnios. METHODS Seventeen singleton pregnancies from 24 to 34 weeks of gestation with amniotic fluid index of S5, were randomly allocated to two groups controls (nine women) and subjects (eight women). Tra...

Successful Outcome following Antepartum Amnioinfusion in Pregnancy Complicated with Severe Oligohydramnios with APLA Syndrome

Objective: This case was reported to highlight an alternative form of management for patients, including amnioinfusion as one of the tools in an uncommon setting. Methods: Transabdominal amnioinfusion was done in the patient at 24 weeks for severe oligohydramnios without PPROM. At 26 weeks she was found to be APLAS. Patient was also started on enoxaparin and low dose aspirin. Results: Pregnancy...

Transcervical amnioinfusion.

BACKGROUND Transcervical amnioinfusion is a new and relatively safe, simple procedure that can be performed in most modern hospital maternity units. METHODS We reviewed the current medical literature concerning this topic by searching MEDLINE files from 1987 to the present, using key words "amnioinfusion," "fetal distress," "premature rupture of membranes," "meconium aspiration," and "oligohy...

Oligohydramnios during the Early Second Trimester

Oligohydramnios developing early in pregnancy is less common, and the fetal outcomes are usually poor. This is because prolonged decrease in amniotic fluid may cause compression sequences, such as pulmonary hypoplasia, muscle hypotrophy or joint constriction. Early-onset oligohydramnios may be caused by preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) or decreased secretion of amniotic fluid. Ear...
