Abstract

AMADOR-DE-VARONA, Caridad Irene et al. Maternal intravenous hydration on the oligohydramnio. AMC [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.85-94. ISSN 1025-0255.

Background:

oligohydramnio frequently blocks a successful pregnancy and it is necessary to found therapeutics options that reduce its damages over the fetus.

Objective:

to characterize the use of maternal intravenous hydration on the management of oligohydramnio.

Methods:

an observational descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out. The universe was constituted by 1 272 pregnant women with gestational age ≥ 34 weeks who suffered from oligohydramnio. They were divided into 2 groups depending on the use or not of maternal intravenous hydration. A descriptive statistic with absolute and relative frequencies was used.

Results:

the average of amniotic liquid index at the admission was 3.9 cm in group 1 and 4.1 cm in group 2, in which it increased until 6.2 cm after maternal intravenous hydration. 49.58 % of women in group 1 were cesarean and 63.29 % of women in group 2 have a eutocic labor. Fetal distress was the indication of cesarean in 182 and 139 pregnant women of group 1 and 2 respectively. 29 and 26 newborn of group 1 and 2 respectively have low birth weight.

Conclusions:

maternal intravenous hydration increases the average of amniotic liquid index. The majority of hydrated maternal women have a eutocic labor, newborn complications were less in that group too.
