... fluid, applied to the ectocervix for 24 h. The remaining 19 women were managed accordingly to prevailing expectant routine without the cervical adapter. All 35 women were assessed initially and after 24 h by ultrasound to obtain amniotic fluid index (AFI) registered. The results show that the average...

...), hourly fetal urine production rate (HFUPR) and amniotic fluid index (AFI) at 39 weeks were studied in 51 singleton pregnancies with (n = 14) and without oligohydramnios (AFI < 5, n = 37) in prolonged pregnancy. There was no difference in the average fetal renal arterial PI and HFUPR between...
