G1 in active labor. 4-5 cms dilated. SROM, clear fluid. Moderate variable decels. IUPC and FSE already in place. Amnioinfusion recommended. 4th year resident said it was "too early to do an amnioinfusion." She said that there were studies showing that women who have amnioinfusions for extended periods of time absorb the solution and then have electrolyte imbalances from the infusion AND the uterine muscle fibers would absorb the fluid causing an increased uterine tone that was irreversible.
This is new to me. Can someone give me more information regarding these two statements?
