The aims of this study were to compare the histological findings in the placentas of MAS neonates with those of meconium-stained but non-MAS neonates and to...

Introduction: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is an illness that linked with significant respiratory morbidity among neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF). MAS, the most common cause of serious sickness and death in newborns, occurs around 5% to 10% births. 6–25% all babies have (MSAF), approximately 11% will MAS. This case-control study examines...

The presence of meconium is associated with a higher incidence of abnormal labor, fetal distress, low apgar scores and delivery by cesarean section.1 It has been estimated that as many as 8 to 16% of pregnancies may be complicated by the presence of meconium in amniotic fluid.2 Meconium aspiration may occur antepartum or intrapartum. Meconium aspiration syndrome develops when there is mechanica...
