Abstract
Objective: 1) To know the clinical profile of meconium aspiration syndrome in neonate. 2) To know the maternal risk factors for meconium aspiration syndrome. 3) To know outcome of meconium aspiration syndrome in neonate. Material and Methods: Study Design: A retrospective study. Setting: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of General Hospital Sangli. Sample Size: 52 newborn babies admitted during the year 2013 in NICU of pediatric ward. Data Collection: From the case sheet of the study subjects, with the help of prestructured proforma.

Out of 52 MAS, males were (55.7%) and female were (44.2%). Birth asphyxia (42%), Septicemia (23.2%), Pneumonia (3.8%) and Jaundice (23.2%) were commonest morbidities among MAS babies. Commonest causes of mortality were Birth asphyxia (37.5%), Pneumonia (12.5%) and Sepsis (25%). Almost 70.7 % MAS babies had birth weight between 2.5 – 3.5 Kg, 13.33% had > 3.5 Kg and 3.21 % </= 2.5 Kg. Antenatal risk factors among MAS babies were Fetal distress (42.3%), PIH (19.3%), Anemia (9.6%), Oligohydroamnios (9.6 %) and PROM (9.6%). Conclusion: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome was the common cause of respiratory distress in neonate.
