A lack of clear consensus on intrapartum hydration assessment and management during labor and birth currently exists. In addition, there is an inconsistent approach to managing hydration, often including a mixture of intravenous and oral fluids that are poorly monitored.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title><jats:p>The aim of this scoping review was to identify and collate evidence\u2010based guidelines for intrapartum hydration assessment and management of maternal hydration during labor and birth.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL databases were searched, in addition to professional college association websites.

Our adapted review identified 12 guidelines, seven of which referenced the assessment and management of maternal hydration during labor and birth. Three guidelines recommend that \u201clow\u2010risk\u201d women in spontaneous labor at term should hold determination over what they ingest in labor. No recommendations with respect to assessment and management of hydration for women undergoing induction of labor were found.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Despite the increasing use of intravenous fluid as an adjunct to oral intake to maintain maternal intrapartum hydration, there is limited evidence and, subsequently, guidelines to determine best practice in this area. How hydration is assessed was also largely absent from general intrapartum care guidelines, further perpetuating potential clinical variation in this area.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>There is an absence of guidelines specific to the assessment and management of maternal hydration during labor and birth, despite its importance in ensuring labor progress and safe care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/birt.12773","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,8]],"date-time":"2023-10-08T18:35:59Z","timestamp":1696790159000},"page":"253-263","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Evidence\u2010based guidelines for intrapartum maternal hydration assessment and management: A scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Lauren","family":"Kearney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work University of Queensland  Brisbane Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Women's and Newborn Services Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Metro North Health  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Craswell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedicine University of the Sunshine Coast  Sippy Downs Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nellie","family":"Dick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service  Birtinya Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0466-1960","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Debbie","family":"Massey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edith Cowan University, School of Nursing and Midwifery  Perth Western Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachael","family":"Nugent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service  Birtinya Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijgo.2006.01.023"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","first-page":"209","article-title":"Glucose homeostasis during spontaneous labor in normal human pregnancy","volume":"81","author":"Maheux PC","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Clin Endocrinol Metab"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","first-page":"1465","article-title":"Intravenous fluids for reducing the duration of labour in low risk nulliparous women","volume":"6","author":"Dawood F","year":"2013","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2003.229"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jmwh.13027"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.14933"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2000.107884"},{"issue":"8","key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","article-title":"Restricting oral fluid and food intake during labour","volume":"2013","author":"Singata M","year":"2013","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jmwh.12515"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9378(16)39829-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajo.13509"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","unstructured":"World Health Organisation.WHO Recommendations in Intrapartum Care for a Positive Childbirth Experience.
