Leading article Meconium aspiration syndrome and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is a common cause of lung disease in neonates. Meconium staining of amniotic fluid occurs in around 10% of all deliveries at term. Asphyxia before birth stimulates intestinal peristalsis and relaxation of the anal sphincter, and in more severe cases, gasping in utero, leading to meconium aspiration. Respiration after birth draws meconium firstly into the major...

متن کاملSaline lavage with substitution of bovine surfactant in term neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) transferred for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO): a pilot study
BACKGROUND: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is still a condition associated with a high mortality, and many patients require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as rescue therapy. Beneficial effects of surfactant and perflubron lavage have been reported. However, pure surfactant supplementation has not been proven to be beneficial in the most severe forms of MAS. This study was perfor...
متن کاملPaediatricians' perception of the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to treat meconium aspiration syndrome.
This questionnaire study was designed to determine how consultant paediatricians perceived the value of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the treatment of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). A significant number believed that the survival of infants with MAS who received ECMO was lower than reported. Early discussion with an ECMO centre will ensure appropriate timing of referral.
متن کاملSurfactant lavage therapy for meconium aspiration syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Lung lavage with diluted surfactant has emerged as an innovative treatment for meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). However, the treatment effect has not yet been fully established. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of surfactant lavage therapy for MAS by a systematic meta-analysis. METHODS Relevant studies were identified by database searches in MEDLINE (from 1950), EMBASE (fr...
