Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amnioinfusion involves the infusion of fluid into the amniotic cavity to alleviate umbilical cord compression, dilute meconium-stained amniotic fluid, or supplement low amniotic fluid levels. It requires the patient to remain in a controlled position, typically in bed, to monitor the fetus and ensure the proper administration of the fluid. The other options are not directly related to the procedure of amnioinfusion itself.
