Filter by:Oligohydramnios happens in 1-5% of term pregnancies. The clinical significance of isolated oligohydramnios been a matter of debate. We aimed in this study to investigate the impact of isolated oligohydramnios on the mode of delivery and risk of adverse perinatal outcome.
OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of our study is to compare the effects of routine hydration with additional 2 liters of normal water versus orally 2 liters of distilled water on the amount of amniotic fluid. HYPOTHESIS: İsolated oligohydramnios, secondary to depleted maternal intravascular volume, can be reversed better with orally hypotonic water.
Routine fetal ultrasound scan during the second trimester of the pregnancy is a low-cost, noninvasive screening modality that has been proven to lower fetal mortality by up to 20%. One of the critical elements of this exam is the measurement of fetal biometric parameters, which are the head circumference (HC), biparietal diameter (BPD), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL) measured on biometry standard planes. Those standard planes are taken according to quality standards first described by Salomon et al. and used as the guidelines of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG). The biometric parameters extracted from them are essential to diagnose fetal growth restriction (FGR), the world's first cause of perinatal fetal mortality. Such measurements and image quality assessment are time-consuming tasks that are prone to inter and intraobserver variability depending on the level of skill of the sonographer or the physician performing the exam. Amniotic fluid (AF) volume assessment is also an essential step in routine screening scans allowing the diagnosis of oligo or hydramnios, both associated with increased fetal mortality rates. The AF is measured by two main "semi-quantitative" techniques: Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) and the single deepest pocket (SDP). The latter is more specific as it lowers the overdiagnosis of oligo-amnios without any impact on mortality or morbidity and is easier to perform for the sonographer (only one measurement versus four in the case of the AFI technique). However, AF assessment remains a time-consuming and poorly reproducible task. Attempts to automate such biometric measurements and AF volume assessment have been made using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) tools. Studies showed excellent results "in silico," reaching up to 98 %, 95%, 93 % dice score coefficients for HC, AC, and FL measurements and 89 % DSC for AFI measurements. However, they were all conducted retrospectively without validation on prospectively acquired images. Reviews and experts have stressed the need for quality peer-reviewed prospective studies to assess AI tools' performance with real-world data. Their performance is expected to be worse and to reflect better their use in the clinical workflow. This study aims to develop DL models to automate HC, BPD, AC, and FL measurements and AF volume assessment from retrospectively acquired data and test their performances to those of clinicians and experts on prospective real-world fetal US scans.
The current study is based on the use of transvaginal sonography in the evaluation of oligohydramnios. Patients will be recruited after amniotic fluid index evaluation according to transabdominal sonography. After obtaining informed consent, transvaginal sonography will be used to evaluate and measure a possible amniotic fluid pocket that may precede the fetal presenting part.
Objective: To estimate the value of uterine, fetal cerebral Doppler and oligohydramnios to predict abnormal fetal heart rate tracings in pregnancies at or beyond 41 weeks
Objective: To assess the influence of maternal isosorbide mononitrate (IMN) vaginal supplementation in improving liquor volume in women with isolated oligohydramnios. Study Design: Prospective randomized interventional study. Materials and Methods: 100 women with singleton pregnancy about 28-36 weeks, with isolated oligohydramnios [amniotic fluid index (AFI) < 5] were enrolled in the study. Before the proposed intervention, the antenatal risk factors were studied. Patients received 20 mg isosorbide mononitrate (IMN) vaginally. Patient were followed after 24 hours then weekly. The treatment was continued till the liquor improved significantly or until delivery. Outcome measures; mean increase in liquor, intervention delivery interval, and neonatal outcome were studied.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk of cesarean delivery in pregnancies complicated with isolated oligohydramnios managed by induction of labor. This prospective case-control study was conducted in Hamıdıye Sisli Etfal Teaching and Research Hospital between January 2013 and June 2014. 159 women with isolated oligohydramnios and 165 women with postdate pregnancies who met the inclusion criteria underwent induction of labor with dinoprostone or oxytocin. The rate and the indications of C/S deliveries were compared between two groups.
To predict the effect of antioxidants in cases of oligohydramnios
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of balloon dilatation (Foley) with vaginal misoprostol for cervical ripening and induction of labor. METHOD: a randomized clinical assay has been performed with 160 women with indication of induction of labor, randomly divided in two groups, 80 for Foley catheter and 80 for misoprostol.
