I've been researching post-term pregnancy. Has anyone heard of this practice and is it used anywhere in reality?
"Amnioinfusion is sometimes used during labor if there is very little amniotic fluid or the fetus is compressing the umbilical cord. In amnioinfusion, a sterile fluid is instilled with a catheter (hollow tube) into the broken amniotic sac to help replace the low levels of fluid and cushion the fetus and cord." Cheers, Cas. -------------------------------------------------------

Hey Jodie, I have been doing some reading
on Post term preggos and found this interesting tidbit about Amnioinfusion.
Could you do me a favour and post a message on Ozmid asking if anyone has heard
of this practice and if it used anywhere in reality? “Amnioinfusion is
sometimes used during labor if there is very little amniotic fluid or the fetus
is compressing the umbilical cord. In amnioinfusion, a sterile fluid is
instilled with a catheter (hollow tube) into the broken amniotic sac to help
replace the low levels of fluid and cushion the fetus and cord.” Cheers, Cas. |
