Background: Amnioinfusion aims to prevent or relieve umbilical cord compression during labour by infusing a solution into the uterine cavity.
Which FHR pattern is treated with an amnioinfusion?
Fetal heart abnormalities indicating umbilical cord compression (severe or repetitive variable decelerations) are effectively treated with a saline amnioinfusion.
Does an amnioinfusion help late decelerations?
Current supportive evidence for this procedure derives from meta-analysis of the nine randomized trials reported. 4 Amnioinfusion was effective in preventing or relieving fetal heart rate decelerations.
When can you do amnioinfusion?
Amnioinfusion refers to the instillation of fluid into the amniotic cavity. This procedure is typically performed during labour through an intrauterine pressure catheter introduced transcervically after rupture of the fetal membranes.
The amnioinfusion was considered successful if it resulted in a decrease of >50% in total number of variable decelerations or a decrease of >50% in the rate of atypical or severe variable decelerations after administration of the bolus.
What percentage of cases does amnioinfusion decrease variables?
The amnioinfusion was considered successful if it resulted in a decrease of > or = 50% in total number of variable decelerations or a decrease of > or = 50% in the rate of atypical or severe variable decelerations after administration of the bolus.
How is amniotic fluid replaced?
Initially, the fluid is comprised of water produced by the mother. By around 20 week’s gestation, however, this is entirely replaced by fetal urine, as the fetus swallows and excretes the fluid. Amniotic fluid also contains vital components, such as nutrients, hormones, and infection-fighting antibodies.
Amnioinfusion is a technique of replacing amniotic fluid during labor via a transcervical intrauterine catheter.
Is amnioinfusion an effective treatment for variable deceleration?
All of these studies suggest that amnioinfusion may be a simple and logical approach to the management of variable decelerations that do not respond to conventional treatment. Impairment of umbilical cord blood flow has been associated with variable decelerations. 8. An Atlas of Fetal Heart Rate Patterns.
How do you start an amnioinfusion?
Procedure: Initiation of Amnioinfusion will be ordered and performed by a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) or physician (MD). 1. Prepare NS or LR 1000ml with IV tubing in the same fashion as for intravenous infusion. Flush the tubing to clear air. 2. An intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC) will be placed by the MD/CNM. 3.
Why is amnioinfusion performed in oligohydramnios?
Amnioinfusion is performed in the setting of oligohydramnios to allow for a potential space into which the intra-amniotic end of the catheter may be placed. Kent Petrie MD, Lee T. Dresang MD, in Family Medicine Obstetrics (Third Edition), 2008
