Effect of fetal presentation on the amniotic fluid index

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1999
The aim of this study was to determine whether the amniotic fluid index differs according to whether a fetus is in breech or cephalic presentation.Between January 1995 and April 1996 the amniotic fluid index was measured both immediately before and after attempted external cephalic version.

Intraobserver and interobserver variability of the amniotic fluid index

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1993
We assessed intraobserver and interobserver variations in the performance of the amniotic fluid index.A total of 34 women in the third trimester with intact membranes were examined twice by each of three examiners. The amniotic fluid index was measured once by each of the three examiners in order, then repeated by each examiner in the same order ...

The amniotic fluid index in normal twin pregnancies

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2000
We sought to investigate the amniotic fluid index for individual gestational sacs of twin pregnancies.Four hundred eighty-eight patients with normal diamniotic twins were examined between 14 and 40 weeks' gestation. The dividing membrane between twin fetuses was identified.

Validity of amniotic fluid index in preterm rupture of membranes

Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2007
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) complicates up to one-third of preterm deliveries. We studied the Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) in order to ascertain its validity as a predictive variable of maternal-fetal outcome in pregnancies complicated by pPROM.One hundred and fourteen pregnant women with gestational age between 24 and 34 weeks ...

Vaginal fluid index – The fifth amniotic pocket

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2022
AbstractObjectiveThe forebag is a pocket of amniotic fluid preceding the fetal presenting part. Herein we describe the feasibility of transvaginal measurements of the forebag and assess its correlation with the standard amniotic fluid index (AFI).MethodsA prospective study was carried out between January 2019 and July 2020.

Amniotic Fluid Index: Correlation with Amniotic Fluid Volume

American Journal of Perinatology, 1992
We calculated the amniotic fluid indexes (AFIs) of 310 women on 459 occasions. Normative data were analyzed and compared with data in several high-risk groups. In the normal gestations there was a progressive increase in AFI with advancing gestation until 32 weeks, after which there was a decline.

Correlation of subjective assessment of amniotic fluid with amniotic fluid index

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1992
We assessed the correlation between abnormal amniotic fluid volumes as defined by the two techniques of (1) subjective evaluation and (2) the amniotic fluid index. Ultrasound evaluation of amniotic fluid volume was conducted on 420 pregnant women with known gestational age greater than twenty weeks but less than 42 weeks.

Amniotic Fluid Index and Perinatal Morbidity

American Journal of Perinatology, 1996
Our purpose was: (1) to determine whether assessment of amniotic fluid index in high risk patients with a reactive nonstress test (NST) allowed improved recognition of the fetus at risk for perinatal morbidity than a reactive NST alone; and (2) to determine the optimal low amniotic fluid index (AFI) which should prompt clinical concern.

The amniotic fluid index in late pregnancy

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2002
Our purpose was to examine changes in the amniotic fluid index (AFI) in accurately dated term pregnancies both in relation to gestational age and in relation to the onset of spontaneous labor.This was a prospective observational study in 137 women with uneventful term pregnancies, in whom 220 AFI measurements were performed. More than one AFI value was
