Abstract
Amnioinfusion is a method of replacing intrauterine amniotic fluid volume through intrauterine infusion of a saline solution using a pressure catheter. This method simply and effectively relieves variable decelerations not alleviated by the conventional measures of maternal position change and oxygen administration. The mechanisms underlying variable decelerations, the technique for amnioinfusion administration, and two case studies are reported. Nursing responsibilities regarding amnioinfusion include pattern recognition, assisting with or initiation of amnioinfusion, and maintenance and evaluation of this intervention.
