Abstract
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of amniotic fluid index (<5) for unfavorable perinatal outcome in phrases of caesarean section for fetal distress, low birth weight, meconium staining, Apgar scores, IUGR and NICU admissions.
Methods: This become an observational correlational scientific study of 120 antenatal patients referred to radiology department with clinical diagnosis of 3rd trimester severe oligohydramnios. The women’s history, scientific examination recorded and AFI measured and the perinatal final results observed up.
Results: The caesarean sections for fetal misery become sixty two. 62% (57 patients), low birth weight babies 25% (30 patients), meconium staining 10% (12 patients), IUGR in 47% (56 sufferers) and NICU admissions 40. 8% (49 sufferers).
Conclusions: There changed into extended occurrence of unfavourable effects in severe oligohydramnios. There changed into higher incidence of IUGR, low delivery weight, ceaserean segment for fetal distress and NICU admissions.
Keywords: Severe oligohydramnios, caesarean secton, Apgar scores, Birth weight, preterm, NICU.
