Abstract :

 BACKGROUND: Study of Meconium stained Amniotic Fluid and Neonatal outcome       MATERIALS AND METHODS: It is a prospective study conducted over a period of 1 year at Sushila Tiwari Hospital. Selection criteria. INCLUSION CRITERIA:1: Gestational age>37wks, 2:Cephalic presentation, 3:Singleton pregnancy. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: 1: gestational age<37 wks,2: previous caesarean section,3: multiple pregnancy ,4: non cephalic presentation.  RESULTS: Total no. of deliveries during period was 2250, of which 428 were meconium stained. Overall incidence of meconium stained cases was 19%. Mean gestational age was 39.6 weeks. Mean maternal age was 23.81.Thin meconium cases had higher percentage of normal vaginal delivery 35.29% as compared to thick meconium stained cases 29.16%.1 minute APGAR were decreased significantly in APGAR at 5 minutes. Incidence of neonatal death and still birth was 18.66% and 5.33%.CONCLUSION: Alone MSAF is not an indicator of fetal outcome. Overall neonatal morbidity and mortality is higher in MSAF group Because of increased NICU admissions, deprivation from east milk and later on lack of bonding with mother and other morbidities, overall rate of weight gain is slow in MSAF group.
