A Prospective Study on Role of IV Amino Acid Infusion in Improving Pregnancy Outcome in Cases of Oligohydramnios
Dr. Smit Patel, Dr. Mohit Shah, Dr. Mauli Shukla
Abstract: Background: It has long been known that oligohydramniosis and fetal growth limitation increase the risk of illness and death in the prenatal, neonatal, and adult stages of life. This has resulted in surgical interventions, perinatal mortality, and morbidity. The amniotic fluid index is a marker of fetal health that changes with gestational age. Amniotic fluid index (AFI) and fetal weight are being researched in relation to various oral and intravenous hydration and amino acid infusion regimens. Objective: To investigate how intravenous amino acid infusion affects fetal growth restriction (FGR) and oligohydramnios in pregnancies. Material and Method: Pregnant women who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria were registered in the in - patient department (IPD) unit of the Obstetrics & Gynecology department at GCS Medical College and Research Center, Ahmedabad, and divided into two groups of fifty - two each. Group B received IV hydration and serial monitoring was carried out until birth, while Group A had an IV amino acid infusion on a different day. Result: In both groups, the mean AFI at admission was observed at 4.1 cm and 4.6cm, case and control respectively. The mean AFI after >2weeks of intervention, in the IV amino acid group was 6.2cm, and 5.2cm in the IV hydration group. And normal delivery rate increases in IV amino acids group than IV hydration group.
