Body water metabolism in early infancy.
A short survey is given over water metabolism from early fetal life to infancy. The close connection between water metabolism and body composition is described as well as the changes taking place during growth. The impact of intrauterine malnutrition, delivery and postnatal nutrition is discussed, and it is pointed out how the premature infant differs [...]
MATERNAL HYDRATION STATUS AFFECTS RENAL PELVIC-CALYCEAL DIAMETER IN PREGNANCY.
Our objective was to evaluate the effect of maternal hydration status on the maternal renal collecting system during the third trimester of pregnancy. Thirty-five patients with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies were studied between 28 and 40 weeks of gestation. Ultrasound of the maternal kidneys was performed at baseline and after oral hydration with 1 L of [...]
EARLY ORAL HYDRATION AFTER CESAREAN DELIVERY PERFORMED UNDER REGIONAL ANESTHESIA.
OBJECTIVE: To establish an early, safe, and well-tolerated time to start oral hydration after cesarean delivery. METHODS: A prospective randomized trial of women delivered by cesarean under regional anesthesia at Alanya Research and Medical Center, Turkey, between 2005 and 2006. A clear liquid drink was given to 100 women in the early oral intake (EOI) [...]
EFFECT OF MATERNAL HYDRATION ON OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS: A COMPARISON OF THREE VOLUME EXPANSION METHODS.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of maternal hydration with intravenous (i.v.) isotonic fluid, i.v. hypotonic fluid, and oral water on amniotic fluid index (AFI) in women with oligohydramnios. METHODS: Patients with low AFI and gestational age over 35 weeks without maternal complications were randomized into four groups (2 L/2 h i.v. isotonic fluid, 2 L/2 [...]
EFFECT OF MATERNAL HYDRATION ON AMNIOTIC FLUID VOLUME.
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of maternal intravenous hydration on amniotic fluid volume in normal pregnancies. METHODS: Women undergoing an amniocentesis for the evaluation of fetal lung maturity before an elective cesarean delivery were eligible to participate. An amniotic fluid index (AFI) was obtained before the amniocentesis, and at the time of the amniocentesis the [...]
EFFECT OF 1 WEEK OF ORAL HYDRATION ON THE AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of long-term (1-week) oral hydration on amniotic fluid volume in women with an amniotic fluid index (AFI) < 10th percentile. STUDY DESIGN: This prospective, nonrandomized, interventional study was conducted on 30 women with AFI < 10th percentile. Study inclusion criteria were singleton pregnancy, well-established gestational age, intact membranes, no maternal [...]
EFFECT OF MATERNAL ORAL HYDRATION ON AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX IN WOMEN WITH PREGNANCY-INDUCED HYPERTENSION.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of maternal oral hydration on amniotic fluid index (AFI) in women with pregnancy-induced hypertension. METHODS: Five women with pregnancy-induced hypertension and five normotensive gravidae at 32-37 weeks gestation with normal AFI (8-18cm) were hydrated by oral intake of 2L of water over 1 h. Both groups were similar in age, [...]
HYDRATION FOR TREATMENT OF PRETERM LABOUR.
BACKGROUND: Hydration has been proposed as a treatment for women with preterm labour. Theoretically, hydration may reduce uterine contractility by increasing uterine blood flow and by decreasing pituitary secretion of antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous or oral hydration to avoid preterm birth and its consequences in women with preterm [...]
