Correlation of Meconium Stained Liquor with Cardiotocography and Its Foetal Outcome

Cardiotocography and perinatal outcome in women with and without meconium stained liquor.

BACKGROUND There is little evidence linking meconium stained liquor to poor perinatal outcome and clear amniotic fluid is frequently considered a reassuring sign during labour.

Intrapartum amnioinfusion in meconium-stained liquor: a case-control study.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate perinatal outcome and the rate of cesarean section (CS) following intrapartum amnioinfusion in women with meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF). METHOD A total of 100 women at term in labor with meconium were randomized to infuse transcervical intrapartum amnioinfusion with saline (50) and routine obstetrical care (50). Perinatal outcome and...
