Abstract

Background: Oligohydramnios is one of the major causes of antenatal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
Objective: Aim of the study is to find out the perinatal outcome in terms of LSCS, meconium staining,
Apgar scores, fetal distress, birth weight, NICU admission in gravid women with oligohydramnios.
Method: The present study was done prospectively carried out on 110 pregnant women with AFI <5 cm
with intact membranes were analysed for perinatal outcome atour hospital, during period of July2019 to
June 2020.Olighydramnios was confirmed by measuring AFI on USG.
Results: In this study, oligohydramnios was mainly seen in primigravida (60%). There were 80% of females
in between 20-30 years. 66.7% underwent for caesarean section, because of fetal distress. 11.8% neonate had
low APGAR score in 1 minute were 11.8% and 8.2% were APGAR score in 5 minute. In this study 22.7%
of babies were admitted to NICU.2(1.81%) babies expired due to septicaemia and meconium aspiration
syndrome in 2.72%.
Conclusion: AFI is important screening test for fetal surveillance method. Oligohydranmios is associated
with more LSCS rate due to fetal distress, low birth weight babies, NICU admission, so that timely detection
of this condition required proper antenatal care to reduced perinatal morbidity and mortality.
