OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of subtotal immersion therapy as an option to improve
maternal intravascular volume thereby improving both maternal and fetal hemodynamic status
with reversal of oligohydramnios. This will be measured utilizing the Amniotic Fluid Volume
(AFV) as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes will be measured using Fetal Doppler
Studies, Maternal vital signs (Blood Pressure, Pulse Pressure, Weight, Pulse) and
input/output.
HYPOTHESIS: Oligohydramnios, secondary to depleted maternal intravascular volume, can be
reversed by improving feto- and uteroplacental perfusion with subtotal immersion therapy.
