Influence of oligohydramnios on pregnancy outcomes and delivery mode

Objective To explore influfence of oligohydramnios on pregnancy outcomes and delivery mode. Methods Ninety six pregnant women with oligohydramnios were studied retrospectively, 90 cases of normal pregnant women in the same period were act as control group. Pregnancy complications, delivery mode and perinatal outcome were compared. Results Incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome, prolonged pregnancy, II-III contamination of amniotic fluid and meconium, postpartum hemorrhage in oligohydramnios group were significantly higher than those in control group (P 0.05). Cesarean section rate of oligohydramnios group was significantly higher than that of control group (P 0.05). Incidence of abnormal perinatal child was 41.7% in oligohydramnios group, while 8.9% in control group, with significant difference (P 0.05). Incidences of fetal distress, neonatal asphyxia, aspiration pneumonia were significantly higher than those in control group (P 0.05). Conclusion Oligohydramnios has a serious threat to maternal and child safety. Enhancing perinatal care and regular prenatal care, choosing the correct mode of delivery in a timely manner will help improve perinatal outcomes.
