The effect of maternal intravenous hydration on amniotic fluid index in oligohydramnios [PDF]
Objective Assessing amniotic fluid determines an important dimension of fetal health. Significant relationships of oligohydramnios, which occurs in 1–2% of pregnancies, with abnormal pregnancy outcomes such as intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR ...

Amniotic Fluid Assessment: Amniotic Fluid Index Versus Maximum Vertical Pocket [PDF]
Amniotic fluid assessment is vital to fetal well-being. Accurately diagnosing an amniotic fluid abnormality can aid in the proper management of a pregnancy at risk for an adverse outcome. Sonography is the most common way to assess amniotic fluid volume throughout a pregnancy; however, the most accurate technique, amniotic fluid index or maximum ...

RADIAL AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX AS A NEW AND ACCURATE METHOD FOR MEASURMENT OF AMNIOTIC FLUID VOLUME [PDF]
Amniotic fluid volume (AFV) is one of the important parameters in the assessment of fetal well-being. The ability of ultrasound measurements to represent the actual AFV is unproven.

Adverse perinatal outcomes in borderline amniotic fluid index. [PDF]
Normal amniotic fluid predicts normal placental function, fetal growth and fetal well-being.To determine adverse pregnancy outcomes in borderline amniotic fluid index (AFI).Pregnant women (37-40 wks) with diagnosis of borderline AFI between December 2012 and August 2014 were identified.

The Amniotic Fluid Index and Oligohydramnios: A Deeper Dive into the Shallow End.
Second and third trimester obstetrical ultrasound examinations include an amniotic fluid volume assessment. Professional organizations' clinical guidance recommends using semi-quantitative techniques such as the single deepest vertical pocket or amniotic

The Effects of Intravenous Hydration on Amniotic Fluid Volume and Pregnancy Outcomes in Women with Term Pregnancy and Oligohydramnios: A Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]
Introduction: Amniotic fluid is an important factor in the prediction of fetal survival. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of intravenous hydration of mothers on amniotic fluid volume and in turn on pregnancy outcomes.
