Abstract


OBJECTIVES: To verify and evaluate the role of maternal intravenous infusion of fluids in increasing the liquor amount and fetal weight in IUGR
and oligohydramnios.
METHODS: In the present study 59 cases of Oligohydramnios in the third trimester were given intravenous amino acid in 1000cc of 10%
fructodex drip on 1st day and the amino acid infusion drip in 500 ml of 10% fructodex daily till 6 days. After that biweekly till patient deliver
or till term.
RESULTS: In study 47 cases of moderate Oligohydramnios and 12 cases of severe Oligohydramnios at the time of their first visit. After amino acid
infusion therapy, on repeat ultrasonography, 22(37%) cases patients with moderate Oligohydramnios had improved amniotic fluid index (AFI) to
normal. 5(8%) patients with severe Oligohydramnios had improved A.F.I. to moderate Oligohydramnios and remaining 25(42%) and 7(12%)
patients of moderate and severe Oligohydramnios group patients A.F.I. is not change. Maximum cases delivered by vaginal route with minimum
perinatal morbidity and mortality.
