Rationale for change
You don't "install" fluid, you infuse it. This is exactly how AMBOSS words it too: "The transabdominal or transcervical infusion of fluid into the amniotic cavity to restore normal amniotic fluid volume."

- Maternal repositioning (e.g., left lateral) is the first-line intervention and may reduce cord compression and improve blood flow to the placenta; should these efforts fail, amnioinfusion is a reasonable second-line intrauterine resuscitation option
- Because cord compression may result from the reduction of amniotic fluid after rupture of membranes, the instillation of saline into the amniotic sac may decrease cord compression and eliminate variable decelerations
- It is contraindicated in a patient with a history of uterine surgery
