Background The intrapartum management of prolonged pregnancies is aunique challenge to the obstetricians, as the perinatal outcomes areadverse after completed 40 weeks. In such cases, intrapartumasphyxia and meconium aspiration are associated with almost. Objective To comparison between MVP and AFI in predicting neonatal respiratory outcomes in induction of labour in prolonged pregnancies. Patients and Methods The study was a prospective comparative study that was conducted on 266 women with prolonged pregnancy undergoing induction of labour. The patients were recruited from Ain Shams university hospitals during the period from February 2019 to August 2019. Results Amniotic fluid index and MVP were evaluated in 269 women with pregnancies of 40 or more weeks and intact membranes using a 3.5-MHz linear transducer. Both measurements were obtained for each participant by the same obstetrician in one sitting. Oligohydramnios was defined as an AFI of 5 cm or less or an DVP of 1 cm or less. External cardiotocography was performed during intrapartum period in all cases. Fetal distress was diagnosed when any one of the nonreassuring fetal heart rate pattern occurred or when the Apgar score at birth was 6 or less. The results were analyzed by the chi(2) and the t tests. Conclusion The use of the AFI and SDVP is useful in predicting neonatal outcomes in the induction of labor in prolonged pregnancies. The SDVP measurement appears to be the more appropriate method for predicting neonatal outcomes. The same observation was found when AFI and SDVP were combined. It is also logical to recommend that only one method should be used for fetal assessment tests.
