Abstract :

Background: The study was conducted to observe outcome of labour in form of perinatal morbidity and mortality and maternal outcome in form of induction and operative deliveries. Methods: 50 cases of Oligohydramnios from month of April 2014 to June 2014 in our hospital.Data was collected from indoor case papers of patients admitted during this period of time. Results: 44% cases were having idiopathic cause and operative morbidity was highest (50%) with PIH. Higher (54.6%) maternal morbidity observed in NST non–reactive group with no perinatal mortality as compare to abnormal Doppler changes, where operative morbidity is almost equal but perinatal mortality was higher. 7 patients were induced out of them 6 (85.7%) delivered vaginally. Total 26% of patients had intra–partum complications in form of MSL and fetal distress. Cesarean done in 19 patients and most indication was fetal distress (37.5%). 13 babies admitted in NICU among them 6 perinatal death noted. Conclusion: Oligohydramnios is frequent occurrence and demands intensive fetal surveillance and proper antepartum and intrapartum care. Due to high rate of perinatal morbidity, rates of cesarean section are rising, but decision between vaginal delivery and cesarean should be balanced so that unwanted maternal morbidity prevented and perinatal morbidity and mortality reduced.
