Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Bidi rollers are exposed to smokeless tobacco through cutaneous and pharyngeal route. Amniotic fluid assessment by color Doppler is one of the important tools in assessing the fetal health in all risk categories. This study aimed to search for a relationship between AFI measurements in pregnant bidi workers and pregnant non bidi workers by Doppler ultrasonographic evaluation. Material and Methods: The study population comprises two equal groups of 100 women each with singleton pregnancies of bidi worker and non-bidi workers at 37-38 weeks gestational age.USG examination including color Doppler and pulsed Doppler velocimetry (L&T Company) was carried out. Amniotic fluid index was determined using four quadrant method. Results: In study group (pregnant bidi workers) there were 4 cases of AFI <6 cm and 1 case in control group (pregnant non bidi workers) with AFI <6 cm. The pregnant bidi workers rolling >1000 bidies/day had lower values of amniotic fluid index (AFI) than pregnant bidi workers rolling <1000 bidies/day. Discussion: The bidi worker women should not work in during pregnancy period and should get dietary allowance and paid leave.
