Abstract

To define oligohydramnios with respect to age, parity, gestational age distribution, maternal morbidity, and perinatal morbidity. Method: The Department of OG, government Mohan Kumaramangalam medical college hospital, Salem, Tamil nadu, India conducted a prospective study. For 12,000 third-trimester prenatal moms participating in the trial, a history, clinical examination, and ultrasound were performed to determine the amniotic fluid index. Analyses of the results were conducted on 200 patients who had oligoamnios and were monitored. Result: It was 36.7+/- 4.1 weeks on average for gestation. It was 3 +/- 1.04cm on average for the amniotic fluid index. 24 percent of cases had gestational hypertension. 18.8% of pregnancies were postdated. Intrauterine growth limitation occurred 15.3% of the time. Vaginal births were just 37.6 % of births, whereas caesarean sections were performed 59.4% of the time. In 16.47% and 17.05% of babies, respectively, an Apgar score of less than 7 was recorded at 1 minute. 3.7 % of infants died in the first year. Conclusion: All oligohydramnios instances necessitate thorough prenatal testing, parental counselling, and individualised decisions on birth time and method. A better perinatal outcome requires ongoing intrapartum foetal monitoring and excellent newborn care
