Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Meconium stained amniotic fluid has long been associated with fetal distress with possible fatal complications unless addressed. We analyzed the results from the hospital births taken place at Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences, Narketpally between October 2010 and June 2012 to understand the risk factors and the possible treatment modalities for the same. Material and methods: All live birth in the institution between October 2010 and June 2012 were considered and analysed for possible risk factors, clinical outcomes and treatment modalities for Meconium Aspiration Syndrome. Results: Out of 2380 live births 160 i.e. 67 per 1000 live births had meconium stained amniotic fluid. Out of 160 cases with MSAF, 21 (6.7%) cases had MAS. Out of 21 cases with MAS, 5 (23.81%) cases needed CPAP support and 4 (19.04%) cases needed mechanical ventilation.Only one mortality was encountered in the present study. Conclusion: Increased maternal age, term and post terms, oligohydramnios, small for gestational age, premature rupture of membranes, APGAR score <7 are some of the risk factors for developing meconium aspiration syndrome according to our study
