To Assess the Maternal and Neonatal Outcome of Oligohydramnios Among the Anc Mothers

Abstract

Background : Oligohydramnios is a condition in which the amniotic fluid volume (AFV) is lower than usual for the gestational age. The volume of the amniotic fluid changes throughout pregnancy and increases linearly up to 34–36 weeks, which results in a reduced post-term gestation. This pattern facilitates fundal height measurements and pregnancy ultrasound analysis for the clinical evaluation of AFV. After the sonography has thoroughly scanned the belly, the largest vertical pockets of amniotic fluid can be seen that are free of the unborn child's body components or umbilical cord. Both single-fetal and multifetal gestations are considered to have oligohydramnios if the pocket is smaller than 2 cm. Objective : To assess the maternal and neonatal outcome of oligohydramnios among the ANC mothers. To associate the maternal and neonatal outcome of oligohydramnios among the ANC mothers with selected demographic variables. Research Design : Research Approach descriptive Research Approach. Setting of the study: the study was conducted at AVBR Hospital sawangi Meghe Wardha Population : ANC mothers. Sampling technique : simple random sampling .Sample size : 25. CONCLUSION : In order to analyse the maternal and newborn outcome of oligohydramnios among ANC moms, the researcher used a descriptive research design, which is examined in the section that follows the thorough analysis in this thesis. Under the headings of sepsis, perineal laceration, postpartum haemorrhage, premature membrane rupture, placental insufficiency, twin to twin transfusion syndrome, and cardiomyopathy, the mother outcome is broken down. Additionally, the neonatal outcome is broken down into the categories of low birth weight, APGAR scores at 1 and 5 minutes, reflexes, congenital anomalies, admission to the NICU, intrauterine growth restriction, birth asphyxia, foetal distress, delayed lung maturation, preterm birth, and stillbirth.The demographic characteristics did not significantly affect the maternal or neonatal outcome of oligohydramnios. As a result of the assessment and low levels of amniotic fluid found in this study, it is advised that all women increase their ANC visits in order to lower the risk of oligohydramnios in ANC mothers.
