Oligohydramnios: Etiology, diagnosis, and management in ...
INTRODUCTION. Oligohydramnios refers to amniotic fluid volume (AFV) that is less than the minimum expected for gestational age. It is clinically diagnosed by ultrasound examination, preferably based on an objective measurement such as amniotic fluid index (AFI) ≤5 cm or single deepest pocket (SDP) <2 cm, but a subjective assessment of reduced ...
Oligohydramnios
Oligohydramnios is defined as decreased amniotic fluid volume (AFV) for gestational age. The volume of amniotic fluid changes over gestation, increasing linearly until 34 to 36 weeks gestation, at which point the AFV levels off (approximately 400mL) and remains constant until term.[1] The AFV then begins to decrease steadily after 40 weeks gestation, leading to reduced volume in post-term ...

Oligohydramnios
Oligohydramnios is amniotic fluid volume that is less than expected for gestational age; it is associated with maternal and fetal complications. Diagnosis is by ultrasonographic measurement of amniotic fluid volume. Management involves close fetal monitoring and serial ultrasonographic assessments. Causes of oligohydramnios include the following:
Oligohydramnios
Oligohydramnios means that, relative to gestational age (meaning how far along the pregnancy is), the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus (baby) is at low levels. Amniotic fluid is the water that surrounds the fetus in the uterus. At the start, it contains mostly water with electrolytes. However, with the progression of pregnancy, more ...
Oligohydramnios treatment for birthing parents
Oligohydramnios (oh-lee-go-hi-DRAM-nee-ohs) occurs during pregnancy when the amount of amniotic fluid, the protective liquid that surrounds the unborn baby in the uterus, is lower than normal. The condition occurs in 1 percent to 2 percent of all pregnancies. Oligohydramnios can be an isolated condition (meaning no other medical condition or ...
Intrapartum care algorithms for liquor abnormalities: oligohydramnios
Four algorithms are presented, to provide a systematic approach and guidance on the clinical management for the following amniotic fluid abnormalities: oligohydramnios; meconium-stained liquor; bloody amniotic fluid or vaginal bleeding; and purulent amniotic fluid or discharge.
Oligohydramnios: a prospective study of fetal, neonatal and maternal
Oligohydramnios is a condition of abnormally low amniotic fluid volume that has been associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. To date, the prevalence of this condition and its outcomes has not been well described in low and low-middle income countries (LMIC) where ultrasound use to diagnose this condition in pregnancy is limited. As part of a prospective trial of ultrasound at antenatal care ...

ISUOG Practice Guidelines: performance of third‐trimester obstetric
While fetuses with non-cephalic presentation may have a mild degree of positional elongation of the head (scaphocephaly or dolichocephaly), a marked deformation, especially when combined with a small HC, may be associated with craniosynostoses, as are other deformations (plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, trigonocephaly, cloverleaf skull).
Oligohydramnios: how severe is severe?
A retrospective study conducted in a single medical center from 2017 to 2019. All low-risk pregnancies with incidental isolated oligohydramnios at term were included. The degree of oligohydramnios was arbitrarily classified into mild (AFI = 41-50 mm), moderate (AFI = 21-40 mm) and severe (AFI = 0-20 mm).
Chapter 63: External Cephalic Version
Breech presentation occurs in 3% to 4% of labors. 1 It is more common earlier in gestation, with 25% of pregnancies <28 weeks and 7% of pregnancies at 32 weeks being complicated by breech presentation. 1 There are three types of breech presentation: frank, complete, and incomplete (also known as footling) ().Factors associated with breech presentation include such fetal malformations as ...
External cephalic version for breech presentation: The guideline
Breech birth is associated with a higher rate of short-term perinatal complications compared to cephalic birth [1,2]. For breech presentation at or near term, there are three options: external cephalic version (ECV), elective cesarean section, or trial of labor in breech (breech TOL). The evidence for the effectiveness of ECV to reduce breech vaginal and cesarean deliveries is strong [3-5 ...
Polyhydramnios and Oligohydramnios
An abnormally high level of amniotic fluid, polyhydramnios, alerts the clinician to possible fetal anomalies. An inadequate volume of amniotic fluid, oligohydramnios , results in poor development of the lung tissue and can lead to fetal death. Polyhydramnios occurs in 1% of pregnancies, [ 1] whereas oligohydramnios occurs in about 11% of ...
PDF Maternal and Neonatal Outcome in Patients with Oligohydramnios
oligohydramnios, 43.84% patients had moderate oligohydramnios and 18.46% patients had mild oligohydramnios. There were 10% subjects less than 20 years, 51% were between 21-25 years, 25% were between 26-30 years, 9% were between 31-35 years and there were only 5% subjects more than 35 years. Majority of subjects (55%) were primigravidae.

External cephalic version (ECV) is often recommended to avoid a cesarean delivery (CD) in women with a fetus in the breech position. International guidelines recommend that all women with an uncomplicated breech pregnancy at term should be offered an ECV. These guidelines also list contraindications to ECV; however, excluding patients from ECV ...

Oligohydramnios
Oligohydramnios is amniotic fluid volume that is less than expected for gestational age. Oligohydramnios can be caused by uteroplacental insufficiency, drugs, fetal abnormalities, or rupture of membranes. It can cause problems in the fetus (eg, growth restriction, limb contractures, death, delayed lung maturation, inability to tolerate labor).
