Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 48
Abstract
Meconium staining of amniotic fluid is a common complication in labour which if left unattended can result in poor fetal and maternal outcome. MSAF is found in 10-15% of births. Prospective study conducted on 1536 consequetive live births. Out of 1536 cases, 200 cases with meconium on spontaneous/artificial rupture of membrances were selected meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The present study shows that by–good intrapartum monitoring, Timely interventions, by immediate oropharyngeal suctioning of all babies and Selective approach of endotracheal intubation can reduce complications of MSAF to a great extent.
