OUTFLOW (1000 ml/d) 1.FETAL SWALLOWING INFLOW (1000 ml/d) 1.FETAL URINE 2.LUNG LIQUID INTRAMEMBRANOUS (placenta,cord) TRANSMEMBRANOUS(amniotic membranes) RECYCLING – 3hrs
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
DEFINITION • AMNIOTIC FLUID VOLUME < 5 th percentile for gestational age • AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX < 5 • SINGLE VERTICAL POCKET < 2 cms
INCIDENCE 0.5 – 5%
AETIOLOGY FETAL PROM (50%) CHROMOSOMAL ANOMALIES CONGENITAL ANOMALIES IUGR IUFD POSTTERM PREGNANCY MATERNAL PREECLAMPSIA APLA SYNDROME CHRONIC HT PLACENTAL CHRONIC ABRUPTION TTTS CVS DRUGS PG SYNTHETASE INHIBITORS ACE INHIBITORS IDIOPATHIC
SYMPTOMS NO SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS H/O leaking p/v Postterm s/o preeclampsia Drugs Less fetal movements SIGNS Uterus – small for date Feels full of fetus Malpresentations IUGR DIAGNOSIS
USG METHODS MVP <2 cms (<1 severe) AFI <5 cms (5-8 borderline) 2D pocket <15 sq cms
FETAL Abortion Prematurity IUFD Deformities –CTEV,contractures,amputation Potters syndrome- pulmonary hypoplasia Malpresentations Fetal distress MSAF – MAS Low APGAR MATERNAL Increased morbidity Prolonged labour: uterine inertia Increased operative intervention (malformations, distres) COMPLICATIONS
MANAGEMENT DEPENDS UPON • AETIOLOGY • GESTATIONAL AGE • SEVERITY • FETAL STATUS & WELL BEING
DETERMINE AETIOLOGY • R/O PROM • TARGETED USG FOR ANOMALIES • R/O IUGR ,IUFD when suspected • Amniocentesis if chromosomal anomalies suspected – early symmetric IUGR • Tests for APLA Syndrome , if suspected
TREATMENT • BED REST – decreases dehydration • HYDRATION – Oral/IV Hypotonic fluids 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
AMNIOINFUSION INDICATIONS 1.Diagnostic 2.Prophylactic 3.Therapeutic Decreases cord compression Dilutes meconium
TREATMENT ACC. TO CAUSE • Drug induced – OMIT DRUG • PROM – INDUCTION • PPROM – Antibiotics,steroid – Induction • FETAL SURGERY VESICO AMNIOTIC SHUNT-PUV Laser photocoagulation for TTTS
