Meconium 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...

In the years 1977-82, 43 infants with the meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) were managed at the Department of Paediatrics of Turku University Central Hospital (TUCH), Finland. Among 5,353 deliveries in one year the incidence of meconium staining was 8.7%. By extrapolation, the incidence of meconium aspiration in all newborns is approximately 0.13%. The mean duration of the pregnancies was 39.2...

متن کاملManagement of meconium aspiration syndrome
meconium aspiration syndrome (maS) affects 0.43–2.1 in 1000 live births and can be life-threatening. a variety of treatment strategies is used, many of which do not have a solid evidence base to support them, but do appear to be effective. Routine suction of the fetal pharynx prior to delivery of the shoulders is not effective in reducing the incidence of maS and neither is routine suction of t...
متن کاملNewborn Resuscitation: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
At present time, delivery room management of babies born through Meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) often includes suctioning of the mouth and nose before the delivery of the shoulders. This addresses the concern that babies will inhale meconium present in the upper airway with their first breath putting them at risk of MAS. The rationale of routine perineal suctioning of all babies born th...
