Dr Savita Jha, Dr Tapas Bandyopadhyay, Dr Babu S Madarkar, Dr Arvind Saili
Abstract :
Meconium is a sterile, thick, greenish material observed in fetal intestine during the last trimester of pregnancy.
Meconium aspiration refers to respiratory distress in an infant born through MSAF whose symptoms cannot be otherwise explained with X ray feature suggestive of the same. In utero passage of meconium is common after 42 weeks of gestation & passage
before that indicates in utero fetal distress due to any cause. Severe MAS indicates chronic in utero insult & is usually associated with adverse
pulmonary & neurologic outcome. Prevention of MAS remained a challenge in current era of medicine. Treatment is usually symptomatic
with oxygen, ventilation, vasopressors, surfactant, iNO & ECMO. Prognosis remain grim,with severe disease with more favourable prognosis
in infants with milder disease
