A Prospective Study on Maternal and Fetal Outcome in Oligohydramnios (AFI <5cm)
Abstract: Background: Decrease in amniotic fluid volume or Oligohydramnios has been correlated with increased risk of intrauterine growth retardation, meconium aspiration syndrome, severe birth asphyxia, low APGAR scores and congenital abnormities. Early detection of oligohydramnios and its management may help in reduction of perinatal morbidity and mortality one side and decreased caesarean deliveries on the other side. The objective of present study is to assess the effect of oligoamnios on foetal and maternal outcome at or beyond 34 weeks of gestation age with AFI
