oligohydramnios/hypoxia

BACKGROUND Therapy with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is effective in the management of pulmonary hypertension and severe hypoxemia. However, these benefits have not been demonstrated in preterm infants (<34 weeks). The objective of this report is to present the experience of eight cases of preterm

We describe the clinical courses of two premature infants, a male born at 29(4/7) weeks' gestational age after an 8-week period of rupture of membranes (ROM) and severe oligohydramnios, and a female infant born at 31 weeks' gestational age after an 18-week period of ROM and severe oligohydramnios.

Fetal growth restriction with oligohydramnios occurring in the preterm gestation is associated with significant fetal morbidity and mortality. We investigated the possibility that transabdominal amnioinfusion might relieve acute cord compression and allow prolongation of gestation long enough to

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to determinate the influence of oligohydramnios on perinatal outcome in term pregnancies. METHODS Retrospective case-control study. METHODS II. Gynecologic Obstetrics Department, Comenius University, Bratislava. METHODS Authors analysed a group of 372 single

Animal and human studies suggest that fetal oliguria is a normal physiologic response to hypoxemia. To assess the clinical significance of this observation, we studied (before their admission) 51 fetuses of women whose pregnancies were complicated by oligohydramnios at greater than or equal to 38

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of prophylactic intrapartum amnioinfusion in reducing cord arterial lipid peroxide levels in cases of intrapartum oligohydramnios. METHODS Sequential randomised pairs trial. METHODS Delivery suite of a teaching hospital, the Chinese University of Hong

BACKGROUND Aim of the study was to investigate the association between placental pathology and oligohydramnios in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR). METHODS Placentas from 221 consecutive FGR pregnancies and 63 healthy controls were studied. Pathological lesions were

We present 4 cases of growth-retarded fetuses with fetal heart rate late decelerations and oligohydramnios. Doppler ultrasound revealed significantly decreased pulsatility index (PI) values of the middle cerebral artery; however, the PI values of the renal artery, femoral artery and umbilical artery

Renal tubular dysgenesis is a clinical disorder that is observed in fetuses and characterized by the absence or poor development of proximal tubules, early onset and persistent oligohydramnios that leads to the Potter sequence, and skull ossification defects. It may be acquired during fetal

We report prophylactic amnioinfusion (AI) for variable decelerations in umbilical cord compression without oligohydramnios as an early sign of deterioration. We performed a transabdominal AI in cases without oligohydramnios using the ultrasonography findings of umbilical cord compression (i.e.

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of premature rupture of membranes and oligohydramnios before 20 weeks of gestation (PROM20) on acute respiratory morbidity and on short-term outcome in infants with a gestational age >or=24 weeks. METHODS A historic cohort study was performed of all infants born after

The evaluation of amniotic fluid volume plays a major role in antepartum fetal surveillance. Although the definition of diminished amniotic fluid volume varies, this sign is considered by itself an indication for intervention in the near-term fetus. The interval of testing is predicated on the

Renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD), a rare, lethal, autosomal recessive disorder, is characterised by short and poorly differentiated proximal convoluted tubules associated with oligohydramnios, Potter sequence and neonatal death from respiratory failure. We report an unusual case of neonatal anuria

Ultrasonic diagnosis is indispensable in perinatal medicine. The applications are; 1) diagnosis of early pregnancy, 2) diagnosis of fetal life, 3) diagnosis of pregnancy weeks by fetal crown rump length, 4) evaluation of fetal growth by biparietal diameter, femur length, abdominal size, or estimated

Neuropathological examinations were carried out at necropsy on 274 cases of intrauterine death or neonatal death at or before three days after birth. Fifty six (20.4%) subjects had evidence of prenatal ischaemic brain damage. On review of the maternal case notes to ascertain antenatal clinical
