[Is uterine height able to diagnose amniotic fluid volume deviations?].
PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of a Brazilian reference curve of fundal height (FH) regarding its capacity of screening the deviations of volume of amniotic fluid using a Brazilian reference curve of amniotic fluid index (AFI) as gold standard. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study evaluating 753 pregnant women receiving prenatal care at the public health services of João Pessoa (PB),...
متن کاملMaternal hydration for increasing amniotic fluid volume in oligohydramnios and normal amniotic fluid volume.
BACKGROUND Oligohydramnios (reduced amniotic fluid) may be responsible for malpresentation problems, umbilical cord compression, concentration of meconium in the liquor, and difficult or failed external cephalic version. Simple maternal hydration has been suggested as a way of increasing amniotic fluid volume in order to reduce some of these problems. OBJECTIVES The objective of this review w...
متن کاملradial amniotic fluid index as a new and accurate method for measurment of amniotic fluid volume
amniotic fluid volume (afv) is one of the important parameters in the assessment of fetal well-being. the ability of ultrasound measurements to represent the actual afv is unproven. this study was undertaken to compare correlation of conventional amniotic fluid index (afi) and radial amniotic fluid index (rafi) as a new method with actual fluid volume on phantom. as an experimental study, 10 to...
متن کاملAmniotic fluid and the clinical relevance of the sonographically estimated amniotic fluid volume: oligohydramnios.
The amniotic fluid volume (AFV) is regulated by several systems, including the in-tramembranous pathway, fetal production (fetal urine and lung fluid) and uptake (fetal swallowing), and the balance of fluid movement via osmotic gradients. The normal AFV across gestation has not been clearly defined; consequently, abnormal volumes are also poorly defined. Actual AFVs can be measured by dye dilut...
متن کاملThe effect of Ramadan fasting on amniotic fluid volume.
OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the influence of Ramadan fasting on amniotic fluid volume. METHODS For this purpose 2 groups of fasting (n=28) and non-fasting (n=25) pregnant women were investigated for amniotic fluid index (AFI) and deepest vertical pocket of amniotic fluid in November (Ramadan month) of 2001-2002 in Kerman Prenatal Clinics in Kerman, Iran. Mea...
