title: Amnioinfusion: an update.
abstract: Amnioinfusion is one of the most innovative techniques of the decade. The authors reviewed current literature, research indications, and nursing implications for amnioinfusion. Current technology has simplified the amnioinfusion procedure. This technique provides both therapeutic and prophylactic regimens for the intrapartum mother and her fetus, and it has many clinical implications for nursing.
