Intranatal amniotic fluid assessment
The perceptive assessment of amniotic fluid at the time of labour and the nuchal cord status (Fig.6) showed that the incidence of reduced - absent liquor was much higher in the NCB group than in the NNCB group (***p). Most NCB group patients fell in the reduced–absent liquor group (***p). Interestingly, adequate liquor incidence was significantly higher than reduced – absent liquor in the NNCB group (***p). However, there is also a substantially higher incidence of excess liquor in the NCB group than the NNCB group (***p).
