EFFECT OF ORAL AND INTRAVENOUS HYDRATION ON OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether oral or intravenous hydration affects oligohydramnios in cases with normal biophysical profile scores. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred twenty-four gravidas with singleton pregnancies at or near term were identified during a 16-month period retrospectively as having oligohydramnios. A total of 50 subjects with normal biophysical profiles (8 of 10) whose labor was [...]

ACUTE MATERNAL HYDRATION IN THIRD-TRIMESTER OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS: EFFECTS ON AMNIOTIC FLUID VOLUME, UTEROPLACENTAL PERFUSION, AND FETAL BLOOD FLOW AND URINE OUTPUT.

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to determine whether acute maternal hydration in pregnancies with third-trimester oligohydramnios (1) increases amniotic fluid index and hourly fetal urine production rate and (2) alters uteroplacental perfusion and fetal blood flow. STUDY DESIGN: Ten women with third-trimester oligohydramnios (amniotic fluid index < or = 5 cm) and 10 controls with normal [...]

MATERNAL HYDRATION INCREASES AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX IN WOMEN WITH NORMAL AMNIOTIC FLUID.

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that maternal oral hydration would increase the amniotic fluid (AF) index in pregnancies with normal AF. METHODS: Forty women with a normal AF index (7.0-24.0 cm) were randomized to either the control or hydration group. Women in the hydration group drank 2 L of water and returned for the post-treatment [...]

MATERNAL HYDRATION INCREASES AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX.

Although adequate amniotic fluid (AF) volume is considered an important aspect of fetal well-being, the etiology of decreased AF volume is not well understood. A randomized blinded trial was designed to examine our hypothesis that maternal hydration would increase the AF index in women with low AF indexes. Women seen in our testing centers were [...]
