A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY OF PREGNANCY AND ITS OUTCOME WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS AND POLYHYDRAMNIOS AT JLNMCH, BHAGALPUR, BIHAR

Background: The importance of amniotic uid volume as an indicator of fetal wellbeing has made its assessment an important part of antenatal
fetal surveillance, also the level of amniotic uid affect the fetal well being so the present study was conducted to study the pregnancy and its
outcome with special reference to oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios.
Methodology: We studied 200 clinically suspected cases of oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios of more than 28 weeks of gestational age at
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College & Hospital, Bhagalpur, Bihar. All these clinically suspected
patients were further examined by ultrasonography for fetal surveillance, AFI calculation and conrmation of amniotic uid level abnormality.
Result: The study revealed that predisposing factors and complications associated with oligohydramnios were – post term pregnancies, PROM,
PIH, chronic abruption placentae while for polyhydramnios they were preeclampsia, PROM, preterm labour, abruption placentae,
malpresentation. There were no maternal high risk factors seen in oligohydramnios but polyhydramnios was observed with anemia, Rh factor
incompatibility, PIH, gestational diabetes mellitus and multifetal gestation. The proportion of C-section for fetal distress was higher in
oligohydramnios.
Conclusion: We concluded from this study that there were many predisposing factors for both oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios they should
be addressed judiciously to reduce their higher proportion. Hence it is essential to evaluate amniotic uid volume during ante partum fetal
surveillance, while maternal examination should look for high risk factors to avoid untoward complications beforehand. Thus management of
women with oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios should be indivisualised with careful monitoring during labour, judicious and active
intervention timely gives margin of safety
