Pulmonary function in children after neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome
Eighteen children aged 6 to 11 years old who fulfilled criteria for the diagnosis of neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome were investigated to find out the prevalence of previous and current respiratory symptoms, and abnormal pulmonary function tests, chest radiographs, and ventilation scans. Eleven of the 18 had no respiratory symptoms and eight of these had normal pulmonary function on testi...
متن کامل[Pulmonary function in children after neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome].
BACKGROUND Meconium aspiration syndrome is a disease of the newborn mature or post mature. The acute pulmonary consequences can be extremely severe. In the few studies of the long-term pulmonary sequelae, it seems that certain children surviving meconium aspiration syndrome keep an obstructive syndrome. The aim of our study was to assess long term respiratory residual damage from meconium aspir...
متن کاملMeconium aspiration syndrome in neonates
Perhaps the most significant changes in airway management over the recent years have been in the management of an infant delivered through meconium- stained amniotic fluid( MSAF). MSAF occurs in approximately 10℅ to 20℅ of all deliveries and increases to over 30℅ in deliveries after 42 weeks gestation. Meconium aspiration syndrome ( MAS) occurs in about 2℅ to 5℅ of these cases with a high morta...
متن کاملMeconium Aspiration
The decrease in the incidence of MAS in the period of a decade has been attributed to the reduction in post-term delivery, aggressive management of abnormal heart rate monitoring, and decreased number of infants with a low Apgar score. [4]Elective induction of labour for pregnancies at or beyond 41 weeks has been shown to be associated with significant reduction in the incidence of MAS and fewe...
متن کاملRole of Meconium and Hypoxia in Meconium Aspiration-Induced Lung Injury in Neonatal Rabbits
BACKGROUND We previously showed that meconium causes lung cell death by apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine expression. Whether this is due to meconium exposure itself, or meconium related hypoxia remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To elucidate the effects of meconium, saline, milk, hypoxia and hyperoxia induced lung injury. DESIGN/METHODS We studied 5 groups of rabbit pups: (I) normal saline; (II...
