Abstract
Thirty patients with oligohydramnios observed at artificial rupture of membranes were studied to determine the significance of this finding. Fifteen were subsequently found to have meconium-stained amniotic fluid and 21 had abnormal fetal heart rate tracings. This clinical observation warrants close intrapartum surveillance and preparation for delivery.
