SIGNIFICANCE OF OBSERVING NO FLUID AT AMNIOTOMY AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY Druzin, M. L., Adams, D. M. 1990; 162 (4): 1006-1007

Abstract

Thirty patients with oligohydramnios observed at artificial rupture of membranes were studied to determine the significance of this finding. Fifteen were subsequently found to have meconium-stained amniotic fluid and 21 had abnormal fetal heart rate tracings. This clinical observation warrants close intrapartum surveillance and preparation for delivery.
