- Abstract
This article, published in the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, examines the effects of serial amnioinfusions (AI) on fetal lung size/volume and intrapulmonary circulation in fetuses diagnosed with anhydramnios before 22 weeks of gestation. The study involved nine fetuses with anhydramnios due to renal agenesis or renal dysplasia, who received serial AI to maintain an amniotic fluid index (AFI) of 15-17 cm until 32 weeks or preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). The results showed that there was an increase in lung size and improvement in intrapulmonary circulation after the AI, but the lung measurements remained below the expected mean for gestational age.
