Study on Effect of Nature of Meconium Stained Amniotic Fluid on Perinatal Outcome

Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6

Abstract

Objective: Recognition of nature of meconium stained amniotic fluid and its effect on perinatal outcome. Methods: The exploratory study was designed at J.S.S Medical college and Hospital, Mysore, from December 2010 to July 2012. Results: During the study 2764 patients admitted for delivery of which 236(8.72%) cases of meconium stained amniotic fluid were randomly studied.  Thin meconium staining present in 81 cases and thick in 155 cases . Fetal heart variability was significantly high in thick meconium staining 59.35% and thin 30.86%  Of the 236 meconium stained amniotic fliud ,157 delivered by caesarean section 66 vaginally out of which 13 by forceps.  Perinatal morbidity due to MAS was 9.61% and mortality 2.9%. Conclusion: From this study, it is evident that meconium staining of liquor is a commonly observed phenomenon. Presence of thick meconium in amniotic fluid has increased incidence of perinatal morbidity and morality, so it should be managed wisely by timely intervention, mode of delivery and neonatal resuscitation. This helps to reduce Meconium aspiration syndrome as a significant cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity.
