چکیده
Meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) complicates delivery in approximately 8% to 25% of live births. Approximately 5% of neonates born through MSAF develop meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), and approximately 50% of these infants require mechanical ventilation. Meconium aspiration before or during birth can obstruct airways, interfere with gas exchange and cause severe respiratory distress [1], leading to high morbidity and mortality. Neonates who are born through MSAF and are apneic will require tracheal suction with meconium aspirator [2].

Comparing the Effectiveness of a Novel Suction Set-up Using an Adult Endotracheal Tube Connected to a Meconium Aspirator vs. a Traditional Yankauer Suction Instrument.
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that an adult 8.0 endotracheal tube (ETT) connected to a neonatal meconium aspirator would improve suctioning during emergent endotracheal intubation compared to the Yankauer suction instrument, the standard tool used by emergency physicians. OBJECTIVES This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of a Yankauer vs. an ETT-meconium aspirator set-up in s...
متن کاملGlass, rubber, and nylon: how to make a mouth aspirator on a budget for handling adult mosquitoes.
A mouth aspirator with a bent glass tip was designed for adult mosquito collection and transportation. This aspirator has been utilized for mosquito laboratory and operational research in New Jersey for >60 years. We provide schematics and instruction for construction of this inexpensive and simple mouth aspirator, which offers improved maneuverability of handling adult mosquitoes from rearing ...
متن کاملMeconium aspiration syndrome in neonates
Perhaps the most significant changes in airway management over the recent years have been in the management of an infant delivered through meconium- stained amniotic fluid( MSAF). MSAF occurs in approximately 10℅ to 20℅ of all deliveries and increases to over 30℅ in deliveries after 42 weeks gestation. Meconium aspiration syndrome ( MAS) occurs in about 2℅ to 5℅ of these cases with a high morta...
متن کاملTrajectory Planning Design Equations and Control of a 4 - axes Stationary Robotic Arm
This paper features the trajectory planning design of a indigenously developed 4-Axis SCARA robot which is used for doing successful robotic manipulation task in the laboratory. Once, a trajectory is being designed and given as input to the robot, the robot’s gripper tip moves along that specified trajectory. Trajectories have to be designed in the work space only. The main idea of this paper i...
متن کاملAspirator gun for high-throughput mosquito bioassays.
We describe an innovative aspirator gun designed to transfer individual anesthetized mosquitoes directly into glass bioassay tubes. The gun has been used for thousands of transfers with extremely low associated mortality and is the central component of a high-throughput bioassay system. The gun is constructed using readily obtainable materials and can be modified for a range of insects.
