it says in oligohydramnios with frequent variable deceleration and meconium, we need to do amnioinfusion to dilute the fluid and remove pressure from umbilical cord!

I'm wondering if this is of any benifit?!!



  #2

No the reason that I doubted is because it says we don't treat oligohydramnios by fluid infusion because the fluid is absorbed immediately and is of no use!!

  #4

We do infuse.
