[Efficacy of amnioinfusion in anhydramnios at term before induction of labor and newborn outcome].

Oligohydramnios complicates about 0.5-5% of pregnancies and is associated with an increased rate of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Our purpose was determine the effectiveness of amnioinfusion before induction of labour in reducing the incidence of fetal distress in pregnancies with anhydramnios at term. The rate of cesarean sections performed for fetal distress was higher in the control group (57.1%) than in the amnioinfused group (20.3%). Anhydramnios was associated with an increased abnormalities fetal heart rate. Amnioinfusion is effective option for the prevention of fetal distress in anhydramnios at term.
