Amniotic fluid volume • 8 weeks : 15 ml,increases 10 ml/wk • 17 wks :250 ml ,increases 50 ml/wk • 28-38 wks :750-1000ml (decreases after 34 wks) • 42 wks<500ml Dr Mona Shroff www.obgyntoday.info
FUNCTIONS OF AMNIOTIC FLUID • Shock absorber – protects from external trauma. • Protects cord from compression. • Permits fetal movements – development of musculoskeletal system, prevents adhesions. • Swallowing of AF enhances growth & development of GIT. • AF volume maintains AF pressure – reduces loss of lung liquid – pulmonary development. • Maintenance of fetal body temperature. • Some fetal nutrition, water supply. • Bacteriostatic properties – decreases potential for infection Dr Mona Shroff www.obgyntoday.info
DEFINITION • AMNIOTIC FLUID VOLUME < 5 th percentile for gestational age • AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX < 5 • SINGLE VERTICAL POCKET < 2 cms • Amniotic fluid volume of less than 500 mL at 32-36 weeks' gestation Dr Mona Shroff www.obgyntoday.info

USG METHODS MVP <2 cms (<1 severe) AFI <5 cms (5-8 borderline) 2D pocket <15 sq cms Dr Mona Shroff www.obgyntoday.info
Technique of AFI • Uterus divided into 4 quadrants • Transducer in vertical plane • Sum of 4 quadrants max pocket depth excluding cord & limbs. • Prior to 20 wks 2 halves • Twins: composite AFI or individual vertical pockets Dr Mona Shroff www.obgyntoday.info
Authors' conclusions • The single deepest vertical pocket measurement in the assessment of amniotic fluid volume during fetal surveillance seems a better choice since the use of the amniotic fluid index increases the rate of diagnosis of oligohydramnios and the rate of induction of labor without improvement in peripartum outcomes. A systematic review of the diagnostic accuracy of both methods in detecting decreased amniotic fluid volume is required. Nabhan AF, Abdelmoula YA.

Techniques for Monitoring • Single pocket without cord • AFI = sum of deepest pocket in each of 4 quadrants without cord • BPP = • NST • breathing 30sec in 30min • move 3 limb/body in 30min • extension of extremity with flexion or open/close hand • single vertical non-cord pocket of 2 cm • Scoring: 0 or 2 for each, 10 is normal, 6 equivocal, 4 abnormal • Modified BPP = NST, +/- acoustic stimulation, AFI • AFI > 5 ok • AFI < 5 or non-reactive NST not ok • modified BPP equally useful as BPP for monitoring, per ACOG
TREATMENT • ADEQUATE REST – decreases dehydration • HYDRATION – Oral/IV Hypotonic fluids(2 Lit/d) temperory increase helpful during labour,prior to ECV, USG • SERIAL USG – Monitor growth,AFI,BPP • INDUCTION OF LABOUR/ LSCS Lung maturity attained Lethal malformation Fetal jeopardy Sev IUGR Severe oligo • DDAVP: ?

Hofmeyr GJ, Gülmezoglu AM. Maternal hydration for increasing amniotic fluid volume in oligohydramnios and normal amniotic fluid volume. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2002, Issue 1. Authors' conclusions • Simple maternal hydration /IV Hypotonic fluid (2 lit) appears to increase amniotic fluid volume and may be beneficial in the management of oligohydramnios and prevention of oligohydramnios during labour or prior to external cephalic version. Controlled trials are needed to assess the clinical benefits and possible risks of maternal hydration for specific clinical purposes. Dr Mona Shroff www.obgyntoday.info
AMNIOINFUSION INDICATIONS 1.Diagnostic 2.Prophylactic 3.Therapeutic Decreases cord compression Dilutes meconium Dr Mona Shroff www.obgyntoday.info
Hofmeyr GJ. Prophylactic versus therapeutic amnioinfusion for oligohydramnios in labour. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 1996,Issue 1. Authors' conclusions • There appears to be no advantage of prophylactic amnioinfusion over therapeutic amnioinfusion carried out only when fetal heart rate decelerations or thick meconium-staining of the liquor occur.

DDAVP • Oral hydration + DDAVP :Prevents diuresis • Results in maternal plasma hypotonicity –-fetal plasma hypotonicity—increased fetal urine production—reduced fetal swallowing—increased AFI Dr Mona Shroff www.obgyntoday.info
