18
Q

Normal Single deepest pocket

A

> 2cm

<8cm

19
Q

Normal AFI

A

> 5cm

<25 cm

20
Q

Mild Hydramnios

A

AFI 25 to 29.9 cm

SDP 8 to 9.9 cm

21
Q

Moderate Hydramnios

A

AFI 30 to 34.9 cm

SDP 10 to 11.9 cm

22
Q

Severe

A

AFI 35 cm or more

SDP 12 cm or more

23
Q

Etiology of hydramnios

A
  • fetal anomalies:
    structural abnormalities or genetic syndromes , and diabetes
  • Con­genital infection: cytomegalovirus, toxoplas­mosis, syphilis, and parvovirus
  • red blood cell alloimmunization
  • placental chorioangioma
    -hydrops fetalies
24
Q

Pathophysiology: hydramnios with diabetes

A

maternal hyperglycemia causes fetal hypergly­cemia, with resulting fetal osmotic diuresis into the amniotic fluid compartment

25
Q

Diagnostic criteria for twin-twin transfusion syn­drome (TTTS)

A

Monochorionic ges­tations, hydramnios of one sac and oligohydramnios of the other

26
Q

Hydramnios complication

A

Maternal
-uterine Distention
- Dyspnea and orthopne
- Edema - lower extremities, vulva, and abdominal wall
- placental abruption, uterine dysfunction during labor, and postpartum hemorrhage
fetal
-membrane rupture or therapeutic amnioreduction

27
Q

Oligohydramnios ethology

A
  • fetal abnormality
  • placental abnormality su􏰀ciently severe —> impair perfusion
  • Rule out ruptured membrane
28
Q

Oligohydramnios Congenital anomalies (renal)

A

bilateral renal agenesis
bilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney
unilateral renal agenesis with contralateral multicystic dysplastic kidney
infantile form of autosomal recessive poycystic kidney dis­ease

29
Q

Oligohydramnios Congenital anomalies (genitourinary)

A

persistent cloaca and sireno­ melia

30
Q

Drugs causing oligohydramnios

A

ACEi
ARBs

Effects:
fetal hypotension
renal hypoperfusion
renal ischemia
anuric renal failure 

NSAIDs

Effects:
acute and chronic renal insu􏰀ciency
Fetal skull bone hypoplasia and limb contrac­tures

31
Q

Oligohydramnious outcome

A

stillbirth
preterm birth
heart rate pattern abnormalities
growth restriction

32
Q

Oligohydramnios management

A

close fetal surveillance

maternal hydration
