    1. Meconium aspiration syndrome is respiratory distress in newborns caused by the inhalation of meconium-stained amniotic fluid before, during, or after birth. 2. Risk factors include placental aging, fetal hypoxia, difficult delivery, prolonged labor, and breech presentation. 3. Manifestations include low APGAR scores, tachypnea, retractions, cyanosis, coarse lung sounds, and bilateral lung infiltrates. Therapeutic management includes oxygen administration, ventilation, antibiotics, IV fluids, and surfactant therapy.

    MECONIUM ASPIRATION SYNDROME

    MECONIUM MANIFESTATIONS

    • is the green viscous fluid that consists of fetal • low APGAR score
    gastrointestinal secretions, cellular debris, mucus, • tachypnea
    blood, lanugo, and vernix. • retractions
    • first appears in the fetal ilium between 10- and 16 • cyanosis
    weeks' gestation • coarse bronchial sounds on auscultation
    • barrel chest
    • decreased PO2 and increased PCO2
    MECONIUM ASPIRATION SYNDROME
    • bilateral coarse infiltrates in the lungs with spaces of
    hyperaeration
    • is respiratory distress in a newborn baby caused by
    the presence of meconium in the tracheobronchial
    airways. THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT
    • the aspiration of meconium stained amniotic.
    • Amnioinfusion
    fluid by the fetus can happen:
    - can be used to dilute the amniotic fluid
    - while the baby is still in the uterus
    • Elective cesarian birth
    - during delivery
    • Oxygen administration and assisted ventilation
    - immediately after birth
    • Antibiotic therapy
    • IVF therapy
    RISK FACTORS • Surfactant therapy
    • Air trapping monitoring
    •
    • Chest physiotherapy
    • “aging" of the placenta
    • Nitric oxide
    • fetal hypoxia
    - pulmonary vasodilators
    • difficult delivery or prolonged labor
    • ECMO- extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
    • breech presentation.
    - is similar to the heart-lung by-pass machine used in
    open-heart surgery.
    PATHOPHYSIOLOGY - has been successful as a rescue therapy for NBs
    with respiratory failure with some diagnoses such as
    meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) having a
    survival rate of morethan 94%.
    - is used to help NBs whose:

    -Lungs cannot provide enough oxygen to the body


    even when given extra oxygen

    - Lungs cannot get rid of carbon dioxide even with


    help from a mechanical ventilator

    - Heart cannot pump enough blood to the body.

    PREVENTION

    • Tracheobronchial Toileting
