TO STUDY THE CORRELATION BETWEEN PLACENTAL THICKNESS AND AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX IN THIRD TRIMESTER OF UNCOMPLICATED PREGNANCY IN INDIAN FEMALES
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ANATOMICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Placenta is the most important temporary organ during pregnancy. Healthy placenta is utmost needed for a healthy baby. Ultrasonography is the preferred modality for antenatal evaluation of placenta. Amniotic fluid plays a major role in fetal growth and development and for adequate amniotic fluid volume, a normally developed placenta is required. Thus, Placental parameters may indirectly affect the amniotic fluid volume which plays a crucial role for fetal development. Material & Methods: One hundred (100) antenatal cases were recruited for the present study. Those women who were with uncomplicated, singleton pregnancy of more than 26 weeks and gave their written informed consent, were taken as subjects. Thickness of the placenta was measured at the level of cord insertion. Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) was obtained by adding the vertical lengths of deepest fluid pockets in four uterine quadrants. Results: The mean placental thickness in third trimester was found as 3.90±1.1cm and mean AFI as 125.20±38.5. Conclusion: A linear but inverse correlation was observed between placental thickness and amniotic fluid index.
