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...

Meconium aspiration syndrome.

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...

Meconium aspiration syndrome.

We agree that the passage of meconium in utero is not always due to intrauterine asphyxia and it may be a purely physiological event due to increasing maturity of the fetus. However, a bacterial endotoxin has been recently implicated in "causing the preterm labor and passage of meconium in utero(3). It is to be emphasized that only those neonates who have respiratory\distress with radiological ...

Management 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...

Newborn 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...

Meconium aspiration syndrome: pathophysiology and prevention.

BACKGROUND Despite the common occurrence of intrauterine meconium passage and resultant meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), controversies regarding the pathophysiology and use of appropriate preventive strategies abound. METHODS Databases from MEDLINE, MD Consult, and the Science Citation Index were searched from 1964 to the present to find relevant sources of information. RESULTS AND CONCL...
