Management of Meconium-Stained Amniotic Fluid
Clinics in Perinatology, 1999Meconium staining of the amniotic fluid will always be a common problem. Although several therapies may be of benefit in preventing MAS, most require further rigorous scientific investigation to assess their potential in preventing this disorder.

Meconium-stained amniotic fluid
Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Reproductive Medicine, 2018Abstract Passage of meconium usually occurs within 48 hours after birth. However, some fetuses may pass meconium in-utero leading to meconium staining of amniotic fluid (MSAF). The vast majority of fetuses pass meconium in-utero due to the physiological maturation of the fetal gut with advancing gestation leading to normal defaecation in utero ...

Meconium stained amniotic fluid
Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Reproductive Medicine, 2016Abstract There are few reasons why meconium is passed by the fetus in utero . One is a function of fetal maturity, but it may also indicate possible fetal compromise. Other reasons include the use of misoprostol, a prostaglandin (PG E1) given for induction of labour.

Prophylactic amnioinfusion for meconium-stained amniotic fluid
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1994Previous studies have demonstrated reduced perinatal morbidity in patients receiving amnioinfusion for meconium-stained amniotic fluid compared with control patients receiving no amnioinfusion. Because amnioinfusion for variable fetal heart rate decelerations has become accepted care, we sought to determine the benefit of prophylactic amnioinfusion for

Meconium-stained amniotic fluid
Journal of Nurse-Midwifery, 1994The presence of meconium-stained amniotic fluid is a matter of importance when considering intrapartum management. Meconium-stained amniotic fluid is known to be associated with increased fetal and maternal risks, especially when fetal exposure has been extended and the fluid is concentrated.

Ultrasound diagnosis of meconium-stained amniotic fluid
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1984Skeletal malformations have frequently been found in association with the Rokitansky syndrome, whereas other abnormalities (such as congenital heart lesions or syndactyly) are less common. Park et al.’ described two patients with congenital absence of the uterus and vagina associated with deafness and ear abnormalities involving the bones of the middle

Perinatal Management of Meconium Staining of the Amniotic Fluid
Clinics in Perinatology, 1989The pathogenesis of meconium passage and the pathophysiology of meconium aspiration are reviewed. Intrapartum and neonatal strategies for the prevention of meconium aspiration syndrome are presented in historical perspective, and newer interventions are appraised.

Perspective on meconium staining of the amniotic fluid
Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition, 2009> Perspective on the paper by van Ierland et al (see page 69) Meconium staining of the amniotic fluid (MSAF) commonly complicates delivery at or around term. Thick meconium is more likely than thin to cause associated lung disease and more asphyxiated infants have long been known to be at higher risk of lung disease.1 In addition, the incidence ...

The impact of a policy of amnioinfusion for meconium-stained amniotic fluid
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1995To evaluate the impact of an amnioinfusion (AI) policy for thick or moderate meconium-stained amniotic fluid (AF) on neonatal outcome, specifically meconium-aspiration syndrome and its complications.We reviewed maternal and neonatal charts of 937 vertex, singleton pregnancies complicated by moderate or thick meconium-stained AF during a 3-year period ...

Meconium‐stained amniotic fluid and the need for paediatrician attendance
Acta Paediatrica, 2012AbstractAimTo determine perinatal parameters among term newborn infants born by vaginal delivery with meconium‐stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) that needed paediatrician assistance.MethodsPaediatricians who were in attendance in the delivery room due to MSAF among term infants completed 775 reports regarding the infants' delivery conditions, and the ...
