SOLINK IN BIO FOR EXAM PREP! Learn about oligohydramnios! Thanks to our friend @radschoolbro for sharing these cases with us 🙌 Oligohydramnios is more than just a low fluid count; it’s a clinical red flag that requires a systematic search for the cause.
Sonographer Pal breaks down the DRIPPC mnemonic to ensure no stone is left unturned:
✅ Demise
✅ Renal Anomalies (Always check the kidneys!)
✅ IUGR
✅ PROM (Premature Rupture of Membranes)
✅ Post-dates
✅ Chromosomal Abnormalities
Why it matters: Amniotic fluid is essential for lung development. If the kidneys aren’t producing “fetal pee” or the fluid is leaking, the resulting “oligo” can lead to pulmonary hypoplasia and fetal crowding.
