Methods: an observational prospective study was conducted at the Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda (Madrid, Spain). The study included nulliparous women with single pregnancy and low-risk labour. Maternal variables were collected (sociodemographic, clinical signs at admission, intrapartum and immediately post-partum, obstetric results) as well as neonatal variables (data at birth, at 24 and 48 hours). Descriptive and univariate analysis was conducted with the relevant statistic tests. The influence of hydration was assessed in obstetric and neonatal results, determining a cut-off point for the hydration received intrapartum (median total volume administered per hour: 300 mL/h). Results: the study included 148 women, with a mean age (SD) of 32 (4.4) years, and a mean gestational age (SD) of 39 (1.4) weeks. At admission, mean dilation was of 2 cm. There was induced labour in 65.5% of cases (n= 97). Obstetric and neonatal results were more favourable in those women who received a higher volume (? 300 mL/h), with significant differences in the total duration of labour (median 526 vs. 735 min; p< 0.001), incidence of Caesarean births (14.3% vs. 18.7%), fever (5.5% vs. 7.7%), incidence of neonatal weight loss >7% at 48 hours (28.6% vs. 39.8%), breastfeeding (94.6% vs. 82.4%).Conclusions: administration of a higher volume of fluids to nulliparous women during low-risk labour was associated with better obstetric and neonatal results.
