Abstract

Amniotic fluid not only provides conditions for normal growth and development of the fetus, but also prevents umbilical cord compression and infection of the uterine cavity due to the existing bacteriostatic effect. In addition, amniotic fluid volume varies in pathological conditions of the fetus and the uteroplacental complex, which can lead to irreversible consequences. The aim of this study was to analyze features of assessing amniotic fluid volume at the present stage of development. In this review article, we analyzed, systematized, and summarized data obtained by foreign and domestic authors from 1980 to 2017. Reliable determination of amniotic fluid volume will optimize the management of pregnant women threatened by risk of perinatal pathology.
