  • Title: Transcervical amnioinfusion.
    Author: Weismiller DG.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1998 Feb 01; 57(3):504-10. PubMed ID: 9475898.
    Abstract:
    Amnioinfusion is being used to treat intrapartum problems known to be associated with fetal compromise, including prophylactic treatment of oligohydramnios during labor and after premature rupture of the membranes, treatment of severe variable decelerations during labor and reducing the risk of meconium aspiration during labor in patients with thick meconium fluid. The procedure is considered effective and easy to perform, with the benefits outweighing the risks.
