“…11 BarHava et al in his study also found that there was no significant differences in Doppler indices in fetal umbilical, middle cerebral and renal arteries in pregnancies beyond 41 weeks and before 40 weeks, but Devine et al examined pregnancies at or more than 41 weeks of gestation and reported that decreased fetal middle cerebral artery and umbilical artery impedence to flow ratio is an accurate method of predicting adverse outcomes like cesarean delivery for fetal distress, fetal acidemia and meconeum aspiration syndrome. 12,13 The incidence of cesarean section was 49.3% in normal Doppler group and 100% in abnormal Doppler group. The difference in mode of delivery is statistically significant in our study (p=0.011).…”

“…This concept has been supported by Doppler velocimetry studies of the renal arteries depicting decreased flow in fetuses with concurrent oligohydramnios 64,65 . Other studies have not confirmed this finding, suggesting that the cause for oligohydramnios in these patients may be related to significantly lower birth weight rather than a major redistribution of fetal blood flow 66 . Alternatively, decreased fetal urine volume output in this clinical picture may result from decreased fetal swallowing in the presence of oligohydramnios due to less available amniotic fluid 67 .…”

“…This reported increased incidence of adverse perinatal outcome has led to an almost uniform recommendation for delivery following the diagnosis of oligohydramnios, at least of patients > 37 weeks' gestation. Clearly, original reports of this association included fetuses with structural anomalies (most commonly of the urinary tract), small-forgestational age and growth-restricted fetuses, postmaturity syndrome, and fetuses of mothers with various underlying medical conditions mentioned previously which may affect amniotic fluid volume 13,14,66,68,69 . Furthermore, oligohydramnios may be a transient finding.…”

“…En el estudio de Oz y cols (20), se observan alteraciones del doppler fetal a nivel de arteria renal y cerebral media, concluyendo que existiría una redistribución en la perfusión sanguínea fetal en embarazos con OHA de postérmino. Sin embargo, el estudio de Bar-Hava y cols (14), no encuentran diferencias significativas en los IR de las arterias umbilical, cerebral media ni renal, por lo tanto, no existiría evidencia de redistribución de flujo sanguíneo en estas pacientes, y la disminución de líquido amniótico no tendría relación con una disminución de la diuresis fetal. Pese a los resultados contradictorios, la revisión sistemá-tica (21) acerca del manejo en los embarazos de postérmino concluye que una política de inducción del parto después de las 41 semanas se asocia con menos muertes perinatales, y es por esto que en la mayoría de los centros se decide la interrupción del embarazo de postérmino, por lo que la presencia o ausencia de OHA no reviste un mayor desafío de manejo, puesto que todas las pacientes son manejadas con interrupción de la gestación.…”

“…Existen algunas teorías tales como redistribución de flujo sanguíneo fetal, una mayor reabsorción a nivel tubular del riñón fetal, o que habría un mayor flujo intramembranoso con una mayor eliminación de LA (12,14). Sin embargo, en este grupo de pacientes con disminución aislada del LA, se tiende a pensar que habría un deterioro de la unidad fetoplacentaria (UFP), por lo que se plantea un manejo similar a las pacientes con patología asociada, mediante la interrupción del embarazo (15).…”
