AN OBSERVATIONAL AND PROSPECTIVE STUDY ON EFFECT OF AMINO INFUSION IN PREGNANT WOMEN WITH OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS & ITS FETOMATERNAL OUTCOME

Abstract

Background: Amniotic fluid is important throughout the pregnancy for normal growth and development of fetus. Oligohydramnios is always a cause for concern in pregnant women. Aim: The aim of our study is to assess the efficacy of intravenous amino infusion in pregnant women with oligohydramnios & its effect on feto-maternal outcome. Materials and Methods: This prospective and observational study was conducted on 80 pregnant women with amniotic fluid index less than 5 cm and gestational age of 28 - 37
weeks at government hospital Gwalior from February 2021 to july 2022 as per inclusion criteria.They were administered intravenous amino-infusions. The AFI value was measured before and after the infusions in each patient. The change in AFI status and feto-maternal outcome was studied and analysed.
Result: The results were tabulated with respect to age of patients, gestational age, gravida status, AFI status, maternal and perinatal outcome. Out of 80 study subjects, majority were primigravida (35%). Most common age group in our study was between 21 to 25
years with around 37.5% . Around 45% cases were in between 34 to 37 weeks of gestations. In 85% cases AFI value was increased post-infusion. Majority (65.5%) of the cases had undergone vaginal delivery post infusion. Only 25% babies were admitted in SNCU, rest
babies were at mother side. No mortality was reported.
Conclusion: According to the findings of study, the present study shows improvement in AFI and perinatal outcomes after intravenous aminoinfusion.
