Abstract The aim of this study is to elucidate the potential influence of fetal vibroacoustic stimulation on two immediate behavioural responses namely fetal micturation and amniotic fluid index. At the end of study, the results were tabulated, compared and statistically analyzed. Analysis was done using statistical program Stat Pac 86. We have found that V.S.A. causes a reduction in the fetal bladder volume at 1ml. and 5m. After stimulation than fetal bladder volume at 1m. And 5m. Before V.S.A. So, we have demonstrated that vibroacoustic stimulation consistently causes a reduction in the fetal bladder volume consistent with fetal voiding. We conclude that V.A.S. induces fetal voiding which may reflect a response to stress. Also, we have found that V.A.S. causes no change in the AFI before and after the stimulation, but AFI should be assessed before acoustic stimulation and if the volume is low, acoustic stimulation should be used with extreme caution. |
