ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effect of maternal oral hydration therapy in 3rd trimester pregnancies with isolated oligohydramnios on amniotic fluid index (AFI) and maternal and perinatal outcome. Materials and methods A prospective study was conducted on 100 pregnant women in 3rd trimester with isolated oligohydramnios. Women were advised to drink 2 liters of fluids orally over 1 hour per day in the form of water, fruit juices, coconut water and to take rest in left lateral position. Amniotic fluid index was re-evaluated by ultrasonography done at 24 hours and then repeated at 48 hours of oral hydration therapy. Difference in prehydration and posthydration AFI was calculated for each selected cases at different intervals. Women were asked to continue the therapy of 2 liters per day orally in addition to routine fluid intake till delivery. All the women were followed till delivery and maternal and perinatal outcome was analyzed. Results The mean AFI increased from 6.23 ± 1.06 cm (pretreatment) to 7.47 ± 0.58 cm at 24 hours (p < 0.001) and to 7.80 ± 1.47 cm at 48 hours of oral hydration therapy (p < 0.001). In women with low AFI, there was increased rate of operative delivery and low Apgar score at birth. There were no perinatal deaths. Conclusion Maternal oral hydration therapy is simple to perform, noninvasive, nonexpensive, east to accept and an effective way of increasing AFI and results in improvement of perinatal outcome and decrease in operative interferences.

Background: Oligamnios is defined as an AFI <5cm, SDP <2cms or an AFI below the 5th centile for the gestational age and is associated with many maternal and perinatal complications. An effective, non-invasive method of increasing AFV is the hydration therapy. The objective of present study was to determine the impact of hydration therapy in patients complicated by oligamnios and to measure the maternal and perinatal outcome in oligamnios corrected by Intravenous hydration therapy.Methods: It is a randomised control trial done at Government Medical College, Kottayam, Kerala, India from Jan 2012 to May 2013. 136 singleton pregnant females with gestation age >34 weeks with AFI <5 cms were randomised into an Intervention group who receive 1 litre of ringer lactate i.v given daily for 5 days and nonintervention group who were kept under observation by serial ultrasound and antepartum fetal surveillance. All were followed-up till delivery to obtain maternal and perinatal outcomes.Results: Among the 68 who were given intervention, 61 responded and 7 were non responders. With hydration therapy, mean increase in AFI was 4 cm and minimum duration needed for improvement was one week. Hydration therapy showed significant improvement in the maternal and fetal outcomes. Intravenous route of maternal hydration has the advantage that a fixed amount of fluid can be infused at a relatively constant rate with ensured compliance.Conclusions: From the study, it was concluded that Hydration therapy is an excellent method to improve AFI in Oligohydramnios and maternal and perinatal outcome.

Background: To study the effect of oral and intravenous maternal hydration in patients with isolated oligohydramnios in terms of mean change in amniotic fluid.Methods: A total number of 38 patients included in the study which fulfill the selection criteria.  Patients were randomly divided in two groups. Amniotic fluid index (AFI) of all patients was measured before the hydration therapy according to the method of Phelan et al.  In maternal oral hydration (Group A), every patient was instructed to drink two liters of water over two hours daily for 1 week. In intravenous hydration (Group B), every woman infused two liters of 0.9% normal saline in two hour daily for 1 week. After 48 hours and 1 week of oral and intravenous hydration, the AFI was reassessed by the same observer. Patients were monitored closely for sign and symptoms of fluid overload. Data was stratified for mean difference in improvement in amniotic fluid index.Results: After oral hydration therapy AFI was 5.926±0.4593 after 48 hours and 8.286±0.6000 after 7 days in Group A. In Group B AFI was 5.784±0.4622 after 48 hours and 7.868±0.2810 after 7 days of intravenous hydration. P value after 48 hours is 0.348 and p=0.014 after 7 days means oral hydration therapy significantly increase amniotic fluid index.Conclusions: Oral maternal hydration significantly increase the amniotic fluid index in patients with isolated oligohydramnios. It is simple, safe and non-invasive method.

Background: Amniotic fluid is derived from maternal plasma in very early pregnancy by the 10th week of pregnancy. It forms an aquatic pond inside the amniotic cavity surrounding the fetus. It helps in fetal development. Aim of this study was to determine the impact of hydration therapy in patients complicated by oligohydramnios.Methods: This was a prospective randomized clinical trial conducted on 200 women.Results: Mean AFI in Group I was 4.47±0.90 cm before hydration therapy and 7.16±1.57 cm after hydration therapy with elevation by 60.18%, similarly mean AFI in Group II was 4.52±0.83 cm before hydration therapy and 7.48±1.56 cm after hydration therapy with elevation by 65.48%. However, on comparing the two groups elevations in mean AFI was found statistically insignificant (p >0.05).Conclusions: Oral hydration is non-invasive, low costing, does not exhaust the resource, convenient to the women with minimum side effects and can be done at home.

Abstract Background Amniotic fluid surrounds the fetus within first gestational weeks. acts physiologically and anatomically in a protective manner preventing fetal and umbilical cord compressive forces, besides have antibacterial features keeping the fetal temperature stable, and avoiding adhesive attachment to developing fetal membrane system. Amniotic fluid volume and constituents continuously change in a dynamic manner as the gestation progresses. Sufficient amniotic fluid volume is crucial for fetal mechanophysiological well-being adding in normal musculoskeletal wellbeing besides aminiotic fluid consituents refelect physiological integrity of fetal systems particularly the renal and gastrointestinal systems. Objective The aim of this study is to find out if there is significant increase in amniotic fluid index after acute maternal hydration in pregnant women with oligohydraminos and to evaluate therapeutic effectiveness of two different modalities of hydration therapy. Methods We conducted randomized controlled open labeled clinical trial on 300 cases with oligohydraminos admitted to Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital (ASUMH) in the period from September 2019 to March 2020. These patients were classified to three groups, Patients in group A were Oral hydration group: 100 participants while Patients in group B were Intravenous hydration group: 100 participants, patients in Group 3 No hydration group: 100 participants. Results The demographic data analysis of the current study have shown that there was no statistical significant difference between the investigated research groups as regards the demographic characteristics (age, BMI, Parity gestational age p values 0.171,0.370,0.840,0.290 consecutively). The study results also showed that oligoydramnios recurrence frequency was highest among control group, followed by intravenous group and least in oral group, the differences were statistically nonsignificant. Conclusion Hydration can be considered an effective way of decreasing the chance of oligohydraminos because maternal dehydration increases the chance of the condition. Therefore both serum and oral hydration therapies are hypothesized to be effective treatment for oligohydraminos. Previous studies have supported this hypothesis. Maternal hydration may theoretically increase amniotic fluid volume may by causing fetal diuresis.
