Meconium Stained Amniotic Fluid

Background: Pregnancy beyond term is associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcome. The aim of the study the maternal and perinatal outcome in pregnancies at and beyond 41 week of gestation. Methods: This is a prospective study of 140 patients with pregnancy beyond 41 weeks fulfilling the eligibility criteria and admitted and delivered in department of obstetrics and gynaecology at a tertiary care hospital. We examined its association with following outcomes: age, parity, genetic factors, bishop’s score at admission, mode of delivery, induction rate, meconium stained amniotic fluid, oligohydramnios, Perinatal and neonatal morbidity, Perineal tear, postpartum haemorrhage, maternal morbidity and mortality etc. Results: Out of 140 patients, majority in the age group of 21-25 years, 68 (48.6%) patients were primigravida while 72 (51.4%) patients were multigravida. Maximum patients 65% were not in labour whereas 35% were in labour. In 51 (36.4%) patients mode of delivery was caesarean section, in which most common indication being foetal distress in 25.5% followed by meconium stained amniotic fluid in 17.6%. In present study perinatal morbidity like stillbirth, RDS were 2.86% & 25.8% respectively. Maternal morbidity like PPH, tear and wound infection were 4.31%, 6.4%, 0.7%respectively. Conclusions: With Regular antenatal check-up, incidence of post term pregnancy can be decreased and Labour induction should be considered at 41weeks to prevent lot of maternal and perinatal complications.

Meconium Stained Amniotic Fluid

Background: When the fetus is in a state of stress meconium is passed presence of meconium in amniotic fluid is potentially a serious Sign of fatal compromise, frequency of meconium strained amniotic fluid ranges from 5-22%. MSAF results in higher rate of cesarean delivery, NICU admission rate, respiratory distress, PPHN and neonatal death. The primary objectives of the study were to estimate the incidence of Meconium aspiration syndrome & Respiratory distress among babies born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) along with studying the outcomes at the end of 7 days.Methods: This was a prospective study undertaken in mediciti institute of medical sciences, Ghanpur Medchal Mandal from Jan 2018 to June 2019. Data was collected in a predetermined proforma after institutional ethical committee clearance and appropriate informed consent.Results: During this period 1972 neonates were delivered of which 216 babies were born through MSAF. 18 were excluded for non-cephalic presentation, multiple gestation or congenital anomalies.198 babies were included in the study (96 male and 102 female). 18 neonates (10.2%) needed resuscitation at birth. 85 (42.9%) had thick MSAF. 43 of them developed respiratory distress (21.7%). 10 babies were ventilated. Seizures, hyperbilirubinemia, thrombocytopenia were more common among babies with thick MSAF. Mortality was 1%.Conclusions: Thick meconium-stained amniotic fluid was associated with low Apgar score, higher rate of emergency cesarean section and meconium aspiration syndrome. Primigravida mothers, maternal hypothyroidism and oligohydramnios were important risk factors associated with MAS.
