A Clinical Study on the Perinatal Outcome of Oligohydramnios in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science And Advanced Clinical Research (IJMACR) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Oligohydramnios literally means ‘too little amniotic fluid’ around the fetus. . It is a condition where the liquor amnii is deficient in amount to the extent of less than 200 ml at term. Objectives: The above study was conducted to find out the perinatal outcomes in pregnancies with oligohydramnios, especially in the third trimester of pregnancy. Methods: This prospective and observational study was conducted in J.L.N Medical college and Hospital Bhagalpur from January to December 2017. In this study 60 singleton pregnant women with gestational age from 30 - 42 weeks with less amniotic fluid index (AFI) were analyzed for perinatal outcome. P value <0. 05 was taken as level of significance. Results: Women with oligohydramnios were significantly associated with an abnormal antepartum fetal heart rate (FHR), meconium stained fluid, Apgar score less than 7 or NICU admission. Also subjects with AFI of 5. 0 cm or less had a higher rate of cesarean section for fetal distress. Conclusions: Antepartum oligohydramnios is associated with an increased risk of fetal heart rate abnormalities. Although in our population it is not predictive of adverse perinatal outcome as measured by low Apgar score and NICU admission, yet this may be reflective of the aggressive antepartum and intrapartum management that these patients received.
