Amnioinfusion

Instilling of normal saline into the amniotic cavity

Indications:

  • Repetitive variable deceleration (umbilical cord compression);

  • Meconium stained amniotic fluid (reduce the incidence of meconium aspiration syndrome – MAS);

  • Severe oligohydramnios (helps in showing fetal sonographic imaging).

  • Failed external cephalic version (ECV)

  • Preterm premature rupture of membranes ( One third of cases have shown that adequate amniotic fluid is maintained with amnioinfusion).
